Who went today & how did you rate it?, by Deleted on Jun 13, 2009 19:47:42 GMT 1, I got there very early so I was #8 in the queue. The 0.5 dropped was because there wasn't a limited edition print run of 8 for the first eight in the queue!

Hunting for Banksy's round the rest of the museum was a mission and a cracking idea... missed a few tho so will probably return on a calmer day.
Big shout to everyone I met... quality day out

Who went today & how did you rate it?, by Coach on Jun 13, 2009 21:49:49 GMT 1, I went today. Spent most of the day with some forum members. Show was utterly brilliant. Couldnt fault it. So much new work. Studio was fantastic. Canvasses were too. Great fun hunting down the work that was mingling! Cant wait to take the kids in the next few weeks. They will love it - the kids that were there were clearly enjoying themselves hugely. Bonus to see these pieces afterwards too:

Who went today & how did you rate it?, by Coach on Jun 13, 2009 22:26:02 GMT 1, If its anything like today, you would be best off leaving early. We got there at about 9 today, reasonable q, but when it opened at 10, all those q'ing from 9 got in straight away. A lot of people joined th q after us. By the time we left the q was much longer, and was only trickling in, and people were having to q inside to get in the canvass room. Of course, that may only have been cos it was the first day. But I was happy that I had made an early start (also 2.5 hours drive) Hope this helps c

I have 200+ photos, but f~ck knows how i upload them. too late in the day to work it out, most will be on here soon enough anyway.
Thank you Banksy.

I know, I spent an age looking round before I knew there was a little guide, and the guy in front of me (you know who you are ) got the last one. But nothing could blight such a fantastic day. c

Who went today & how did you rate it?, by nipper on Jun 14, 2009 8:40:45 GMT 1, Fantastic show yesterday. Saw loads but seems I missed a couple and oddly a couple of previous in the pics from preview night were missing or moved - the London, New York, Bristol was no longer above the Rolf Harris and chair yesterday. I was about 15th in line so own up whoever took it!
Quote of the day - I was standing on the balcony looking down onto the ice cream van and a woman said to her husband "How long can he sit on that horse without getting tired? They must let him have a break!"

Who went today & how did you rate it?, by doublehelix on Jun 15, 2009 12:42:13 GMT 1, Went on Sat afternoon, drove down from West Yorkshire. The sheer amount of work and the quality of the execution is mind blowing. From me a perfect 10, even with the queues to get in and then to see the Banksy room:

Who went today & how did you rate it?, by butterfly on Jun 15, 2009 13:52:20 GMT 1, The show is absolutely mindblowing.
It really demonstrates how well Banksy knows this museum with all the gems hidden everywhere, like a treasure hunt. It's exciting to discover one piece in the middle of regular installations.
It's also been fantastic looking at people's reaction towards a couple of paintings or stuffed animals, not realising what they were. I also saw a couple of children trying to attract the Monkey painter's attention. That was priceless.
I will definitively go again a couple of times.
I could have spent hours looking at the sketches and ideas in the Banksy studio room. That was fascinating.
Some confirmation about the "Bling Kid" in Dalston
