Graffiti artist Banksy has announced the opening of a dystopian theme park in a British seaside town, featuring boats filled with migrants and an anarchist training camp.

The secretive Banksy, famed for his ironic murals in unexpected places, said the show was something different as his street art had become “just as reassuringly white, middle class and lacking in women as any other art movement”.

Banksy in Bristol

Graffiti artist Banksy’s biggest exhibition has been unveiled by Bristol City Museum, featuring more than 100 of works which were installed in the council-run museum amid great secrecy this week. The show – which was kept secret from council bosses – includes new works including a burned-out ice cream van. Banksy was previously sought for vandalism by the police and council in his home city. He said: ‘This is the first show I’ve ever done where taxpayers’ money is being used to hang my pictures up rather than scrape them off.’
