Reviews of Banksy Museum - The World of Banksy - Brussels
Sam
A nice if not short little trip around Banksy's famous and more unknown works. Quite interesting to see how he approaches art and how he uses his fortune. Would recommend if you have an hour or less to kill
Mary Hockaday
Banksy Museum, Brussels is a quirkily designed art gallery which adds to the experience of viewing Banksy's artworks. The price to enter is affordable and the gift shop while small, is well stocked. There is no cafeteria but it's only a very short walk to Bd. Anspach. I enjoyed my time there. 😊
Graham Short
Most of the pieces are on constructed walls inside the museum, nicely laid out with some original paintings/prints in frames. Always good to see his work have seen them in New York and this holds up well.
Deborah Newton-Cook
I 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. Recom...

Both 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.
