Q&A's
How long does it take to see the exhibit?

The average time is between 60 and 90 minutes.

Are all the works genuine?

Yes, the artworks on display at The Art of Banksy were certified and authenticated by Pest Control. The works were sold by Banksy to private collectors and would normally never get to be seen by the public.

Is any of the work taken from the street?

We would never remove Banksy’s public works – it was meant for the public and belongs to the public. We believe public art should remain physically accessible to the public out in the wild.

Is the exhibition suitable for children?

We encourage the attendance of children by making entry free for youngsters under 12 years of age, accompanied by at least one adult. 

 Under 5’s must be monitored so as not to disturb the exhibition (either with their parent at all times or in a pram) 

Can I take photos in the exhibition area?

Yes, personal photography is encouraged, though you won’t be able to use your flash. Professional photography and flash photography is not permitted. You can share your photos with us on social media by tagging us @tepaechristchurch
