Banksy is one of the most famous street artists, with a unique approach. He manages to remain anonymous, even after several decades of being active in all corners of the globe. His works are known to everyone, even those who are not related to the world of art. This all has led to the creation of various art hubs and museums dedicated to Banksy art, like a new museum that emerged in Lisbon, Portugal, not so long ago to unite 100+ works created by Banksy under one roof.
Banksy has spent the last couple of decades cruising the globe and leaving his thought-provoking, memorable stencils in the streets of dozens of cities. From Asia to America, from Europe to Latin America, Banksy’s murals pop up unexpectedly and are often discovered by people following the artist’s social media hints.
Unfortunately, street art is highly vulnerable to the impact of natural elements and vandalism by other street artists or municipal authorities. Besides, many Banksy murals are stolen or overpainted by people distant from street art. A world-famous Banksy mural in Venice is half-drowned because of the rising water level, and several other murals have been removed for storage in private collections. Exploring Banksy art in person turns into a hard task for many reasons, but the good news is that museums hosting reproductions have become a viable alternative to those seeking an immersive experience.
Museu Banksy in Lisbon offers a unique opportunity to get a grasp of Banksy’s art scattered across the entire world in one place. It features a vast collection of Banksy reproductions, attracting art lovers from different countries to explore a variety of murals, canvases, graffiti, projections, and video installations. Such a diversity of iconic street art enjoys popularity not only among art lovers but also among art business professionals like Fine Art Shippers, a NYC-based art logistics company that handled the moving of several Banksy murals in New York.
Museu Banksy is located at Rua Viriato 25B in Lisbon, Portugal. It is open from 11 am to 8 pm on weekdays and from 10 am to 8 pm on weekends. The entrance fee is 13 euros for adults, with group discounts and free entry for children under 5 years old available.
