In Arganzuela, that neighborhood where the industrial and the cultural blend without warning, there is an exhibition (or, rather, an entire museum) dedicated to the universe of Banksy, the world’s most famous (and most elusive) street artist, at P.º de la Esperanza, 1. The exhibition features over 170 life-size, well-contextualized recreations of his most iconic murals as well as some lesser-known works . Get your tickets here.
Everything is set up in an indoor space that allows you to walk among images that were born for the street and that interact with one another here, even though in real life they are separated by thousands of kilometers—even in conflict zones— addressing themes of power, war, consumerism, and inequality.

A permanent exhibition of Banksy’s work and message
The aim of this museum is to revisit the work of the master of street art through more than 170 recreations and to analyze how and why he has managed to leave his mark on the history of world art without ever showing his face. It also revolves around the eternal debate over graffiti (art or vandalism?) and, piece by piece, offers reflections on the provocative and revolutionary nature of Banksy’s works.

Banksy or the eternal debate
In 2015, the eerie Dismaland amusement park opened in Somerset, a temporary art installation that was the complete antithesis of Disneyland, whose materials were later used to build shelters for migrants in Calais. Or the Walled Off Hotel, the hotel “with the worst view in the world,” located in Bethlehem across from the wall built by Israel around the West Bank to enclose the so-called territory “occupied” by Palestinians.
For years, the figure of Banksy has been part of our collective imagination with a political discourse of his own, inseparable from the social reality in which he operates. This has led to two camps: one of supporters and another of detractors of this prolific artist who began his career in street art and in rather disadvantaged contexts. Now, this new Banksy Museum brings us closer to his committed perspective through a permanent immersive exhibition.
