Banksy donated piece of art - Bristol Museum, by Fragile on Oct 12, 2009 9:22:03 GMT 1, This is the piece that Banksy has donated to the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery.
I went back at the weekend. Very strange: no queues, no people. Posters are still for sale in the shop but they are no longer on display (Monkey Parliament all sold out now though).

Think it was supposed to be a joint decision.

The Crude oils were mostly from private collections so they couldn't donate one of those.

Yeah, the PR of having a quality piece up in display in the Bristol City Museum for years to come! is a great opportunity, even for Banksy.
Plus I don't see this choice really making much sense displayed on its own
Opportunity lost

I agree with you Silky a missed opportunity i think... perhaps the museum were nervous about theft/damage if it had been more iconic???

Banksy donated piece of art - Bristol Museum, by Fragile on Oct 12, 2009 16:04:33 GMT 1, This piece looks very odd at the musuem, just there all alone. It's still in the same place as it was originally located. I was looking forward to seeing Monkey Parliament again, alas it was not to be.

Banksy donated piece of art - Bristol Museum, by buffin on Oct 12, 2009 19:25:52 GMT 1, Really liked this from the show and think it will go down well at the museum as it does not need any explanation. Sure it will liven up the visit of many school parties. Think there was a monkey on bomb canvas on display before the show - not sure if this was on loan or another donation to the museum. Either way we do not know for sure if the angel has been donated, or if it has, is the only donation.

Banksy donated piece of art - Bristol Museum, by BK83 on Oct 13, 2009 0:23:11 GMT 1, Although one of the crude oils, or one of his paintings may have spoken more to Banksy's signature subversive art, I think this choice speaks to Banksy the graffiti vandal and therefore more of a statement about Banksy. I like this choice.
