Rich people trying to buy or steal Banksy's art for "street cred" is the height of irony. His is the art of the people, for the people, owned by everyone and no one. Thanks for this fabulous tour!

We got a Banksy in Nottingham over lockdown, and the owner of the building sold the wall it was painted on! I think the bricks are now in a museum somewhere, but not in Nottingham. Seems a shame, but I don't blame the owner really. I bet it was worth quite a bit of money.

I'm from Baghdad, and when I see some of Banksy I feel sad and tend to cry I don't understand why ?!

We're researching for a visit in a few weeks and have found ourselves watching and rewatching your videos. Thanks for finding the juicy off-the-beaten-path places and objects!

Excellent video. Is it true than Banksy keeps a low profile and people do not know who he is or is this an urban myth. Thanks for your wonderful videos.

Yes 100%! He is technically anonymous, but there are dozens of theories about who he is. :)

Thank you for this…Banksy gifted Toronto Ontario with a number of pieces. People tried to cut out walls to preserve (and sell) his works…where others were protected in situ. He wanted his pieces to be gifts to the people who live here. We have an appreciation of graffiti as an art form here, and have an annual festival where various alleys are given over to graffiti artists, where people can watch them paint. It is followed by a showing of their works on art walks. I love the whimsy and commentary of his work…but one of my all time favourites was the two bobbies passionately sharing a kiss (i believe on a London street}. It is a valid art form that will be studied by future students of art…and I love good graffiti.🖤🇨🇦

The kissing policemen are in Brighton! I think they might even still be there. I don’t think banksy cares much about gifting his pieces to the masses- otherwise I don’t think he’d paint on private buildings! If that was his intention, I think public buildings would make more sense. Thank you for watching!

@@TheMuseumGuide I’m glad the kissing policemen are standing the test of time. Banksy did once say that something interesting and thought provoking was better than a blank wall, and that he felt graffiti was art for the people. He isn’t so concerned if the wall is owned, as much as that it is visible. I know he refused to authenticate a piece where the building owner cut the wall with the piece out of his building, and tried to auction it off. It still sold for an insane amount of money, but he wouldn’t give it the authentification. He once set up on the street, and sold originals for $60., while his prints were going for hundreds, so I do think he has his own ethic around it. Whatever the case…he has definitely changed the way people view graffiti forever, and that is a good thing.🖤🇨🇦

I'm not sure if it's still there but there was one near St Paul's cray train station saying the walls are alive my cousin and I used to do window cleaning in Gillingham Kent I have moved since and not on talking terms with my cousin

Oh right! It’s part of a special exhibit.

San Francisco still has a Banksy up and a Blek Le Rat. No idea people held tours for these.

Any pointers on how/where to find the Banksy rat @Camden town hall/The Standard? We’ll be visiting London by train next week and I love to show my kids a Banksy.

I think, just think mind you, that what happens to Banksy’s art after its f😅nished is totally intentional. Its part of the Art. Here he is. No one knows him, but its clear he sees the world. His work is worth millions, but it doesn’t matter. Jealousy, hatred, entitlement wins out over all of it. His work is slowly destroyed by people who have no clue what the world really is. I love his work. It always make me think too much, as u can tell. Just an old hippie thought.

suprised theres any,these days half a building gets demolished to get them off

Top secret Banksys a small group

Graffiti a Criminal Offence? Yes, graffiti is regarded as criminal damage and a prosecution maybe brought under section 1 of the criminal act 1971. Cost of repair to outsideof building £5000 ,The BBC for adding and abetting crime unlimited fine up too and over £5 million

For a “tour guide” I’d think you’d know something as basic as the correct title of the pink car. It’s not “long road to hell” as you wrongly say. The correct title is “triumph of death”. 🙄
