Banksy Bristol City Museum Show, by butterfly on Jun 25, 2009 10:55:15 GMT 1, I have read somewhere that daily visits are now 5000. The pre-Banksy show were 1000.
So I guess you still have to queue, but not that much.
Note however that the queue is closed at 4.00 pm. The Museum closes at 5.00pm

Banksy Bristol City Museum Show, by jamo on Jun 26, 2009 10:38:52 GMT 1, I went yesterday at approx. 1pm. Park Street was very busy, it was a university open day next door and the sun was shining. Despite what looked like a fairly long queue, I was inside the main Banksy room within 20 mins. Oh and there may have been a few Glastonbury peeps there too on their way down to the festival. So, all in all, not a long wait.
I loved it. Absolutely brilliant. The brush work on the Monkey Parliament (?) piece is amazing. You can tell the Banksy fans - they take time to study all the amazing detail in the Banksy 'studio' set - stencils, sketches, etc. What impressed me too was the cross-section of people there - young to very old. Granted, some were there unawares and were visiting the other museum rooms and had no choice but to go through the Banksy main exhibition room, but if I had a pound for every OAP or school kid who smiled and took pics of the Banksy pieces, I'd be a wealthy man.....

Banksy Bristol City Museum Show, by mred on Jun 28, 2009 12:41:25 GMT 1, Went to the show this morning, queue not that bad although arrived early (9:40am) and queue was getting longer as we waited. In by 10.20am, fact so many people crammed in I found detracted from whole experience for me, felt like an ant following lots of other ants. Once out of ground floor crowds thinned out although that said got a bit fed up with cocks and cockettes barging past to the Bankys to take photos. There are a lot of great pieces in the museum and at the risk of getting chucked off the forum quite a few are not by the local artist!!!!!
Hopefully get a chance to go back again when less people although that might be wishful thinking, Mr B a top man for putting show on but after awhile the joke wears a little thin although maybe it is the crowd that rumoured my sense of humour a little this morning.

Yeah I went yesterday with the missus and onemandown72. We got there about 1.30pm and ony ended-up queuing for 30 minutes or so to get in.
The show was good but far too many people in the Banksy room downstairs, which is where everyone was directed when they went in. The highlights for me were the "Monkey Parliament" and the riot cops running through the grass. I couldn't believe how big those and particularly the American couple in the rickshaw were - they are HUGE!!!! Quite a few "old favourites" too...No Ball Games, the artist painting the p***s and "Go Flock Yourself".
There was so much to take in in that room, particularly in the workshop area. Loved the photos from Mali and also the Nola which had been put together using about four different images to get what we see today. Interesting to see the "Ghetto-Blaster Kid" from Dalston Square, but I DIDN'T see the "Last Exit before Motorway" (sorry Zippy). Also, check out the level of detail on the Queen Vic stencil - awesome!
Just a couple of words of advice for those going....don't leave the main Banksy room until you're done. They won't let you back in and you'll have to queue again. Also, staff were getting really p***ed off with people using flashes on cameras.
The pet-shop was good fun, althought Tweety Pie wasn't moving much. The sausages were making a really disturbing noise - don't stand too close, it's horrible!
