★★★★★a year agoBoth me and my mum enjoyed this exhibition. Loves seeing all his art work in person, it was amazing! There's some perfect photo opportunities if you go early! If you have free time, I would recommend it. There's a little gift shop at the end aswell.

★★★★★a year agoI visited the museum on our Belgian national holiday. It's a relatively small building, but it has some excellent Banksy pieces inside. The visit is organised on the ground and first floors, and is easy to follow. Pictures from the UK , Paris, Berlin and Palestine I enjoyed this exhibition. There is a shop before the exit selling small gifts (key rings, fridge magnets), posters and T-shirts. Recommended.
