Sharon Ament, Director of the London Museum said: “The only thing better than having a Banksy appear on the walls of London Museum in Smithfield or Docklands is having a Banksy on display inside.
Banksy’s Piranhas police sentry box artwork, which made headlines last year, is set to be showcased at the new London Museum.
“We are that, too, in the context of a museum, of course, so what a great acquisition and gift to have for the people of London - a City of London Police Box, filled with piranhas.”.
Following confirmation from Banksy that it was his work, the sentry box was relocated by the City Corporation to Guildhall Yard, where thousands of people viewed it from behind safety barriers and more recently, to Guildhall’s South Ambulatory.
Now, Banksy’s ‘piranhas’ artwork will be exhibited at the flagship City museum, which will open next year at its new location at Smithfield’s Market.
