Traveler reviews
Simone
★★★★★Edited 3 years agoAbsolutely stunning exhibit of TV boy, Banksy, and Jago! The museum is divided over two floors which is great for those busy moments. There are two bathrooms on site, one just outside the ticket office and one inside the museum. The only thing I recommend doing is buying your ticket before hand. I didn't and had to wait in a line outside (which was relatively quick - around 10minutes). Otherwise, it's highly recommended!

★★★★★3 years agoWalking past we saw that the Banksy, Jago and TVBoy exhibit was still open so we took a chance and popped in, I'm glad we did! Airy gallery with attention to the visitor's experience, a well laid out exhibit of intelligently curated selections from the three artists.
