It will be spectacular: Banksy exhibition comes to Budapest

The World of Banksy—The Street is my Canvas exhibition will bring over a hundred of Banksy’s works to Budapest and will be on display at the Király Street Komplex Kiállítóterem (Complex Exhibition Hall) in Budapest from the beginning of May.

The exhibition will feature graffiti, photographs, video installations, prints and unique pieces that have been reproduced and collected especially for this exhibition.

The exhibition of the world’s most famous invisible graffiti artist will arrive in Hungary after Barcelona, Paris, Milan, Prague, Brussels, Lisbon, and Dubai. It will continue its journey to Italy (Venice, Naples) and the United States (New York).

With over two million visitors, the exhibition provides a comprehensive insight into the entire oeuvre of this exceptional artist. Banksy is known for his work in public spaces, using a distinctive stenciled technique and reflecting on current political and social situations.

However, few people know that the anonymous artist has worked on canvas and other materials, fabric, aluminium, forex and plexiglass in a career spanning more than 20 years, has painted live animals for an exhibition and has also directed films.

Banksy returns to Budapest for the third time

In November 2012, Banksy already had an exhibition entitled Exit through the gift shop in the basement of the Műcsarnok in Budapest. Eight years later, Banksy’s work was on exhibit again in Hungary, with The Art of Banksy: Without Limits opening in February 2020 at Tesla Loft.

The exhibition, with descriptions in English and Hungarian and fully accessible, will be on view from 3 May to 1 October 2024 in the Complex Exhibition Hall.
