Banksy Museum

The basics

While a few of the works at the Banksy Museum are displayed in frames, most are recreated right on the low-ceilinged museum’s walls, just as they would be if you came across them on the streets. There’s also an exhibit replicating the Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem—which Banksy designed and decorated—complete with an accurate model of Room 3 (“Banksy’s Room”) and its famous pillow fight mural.
