Banksy unveils secret exhibition

Updated on 12 June 2009

By Nicholas Glass

From a burned out ice cream van to his trademark stencils, the reclusive artist Banksy has unveiled his biggest ever British show.

The exhibition and its location have been a closely-guarded secret since October, with just a couple of museum officials in the loop.

Staged in the council-owned City Museum and Art Gallery, Banksy v Bristol Museum features animatronics, installations and a sensory display.

In a rare statement,  Banksy said it was the first time taxpayers money had been used to put his pictures up, rather than scrape them off the wall.

"This show is my vision of the future, to which many people will say: 'You should have gone to Specsavers".
