We might not know the person behind the art but the world is certainly familiar with his work, and very soon you’ll be able to experience the largest Banksy exhibition ever staged right here in Brisbane.
Making its world premiere, The Art Of Banksy: Chapter 2 will see over 300 pieces—including more than 100 originals—land in the heart of the CBD this November, alongside rare installations, sculptures and holograms. Explore the mind of the world’s most influential street artist through his work, from the iconic Cinderella at Dismaland to the infamous Ice Cream Van.
This bold stance Banksy takes with his art is what makes his work iconic. He’s known for questioning politics, social trends and using art as a form of activism. Even if you don’t agree with his ideas, the artwork is difficult not to admire. Keeping his identity unknown is much to do with the pranks he pulls against the art establishment. He’s broken the news a handful of times for secretly hanging his work inside museums around the world such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum.

The Art Of Banksy: Chapter 2 is twice the size of its 2023 predecessor, which has already captivated over 2.8 million visitors across 35 cities in the past decade. You’ll want to put aside about an hour to embark on this multi-sensory journey, which includes a faithful recreation of the lobby in Banksy’s Walled Off Hotel—a controversial pop-up first unveiled in Bethlehem.
We feel obliged to tell you that the exhibition is in no way affiliated with Banksy himself, though he has also pointed out that he's not the best person to complain about people putting up pictures without getting permission, so do with that information what you will.
The Art Of Banksy: Chapter 2 is in town from November 2025, with tickets on sale now. Get yours here.
