Walls of whispered revolutions: Exploring Banksy’s legacy in New York


NEW YORK, In Lower East Side of Manhattan, where the cracked walls were adorned with murals, the largest Banksy museum in the world has been established.

The museum included a large display of more than 160 works by the most mysterious and famous contemporary artist, documenting his journey to Palestine on the separation wall in the West Bank.

Street art currently occupies a prominent place in the global cultural scene, with graffiti artists displaying their works in public spaces as a form of social interaction, and the name Banksy stands out in the forefront of this artistic field.

The museum presents the master of street art, whose identity remains unknown, in an immersive experience for visitors by reviving his creations around the world.

His art pieces covered themes that were considered controversial, such as advocating for the oppressed, the poor and migrants, political commentary, as well as people’s struggle and hope.
