Banksy at New York museums

Wooster Collective has exclusive images of Banksy installing four pieces in New York's Brooklyn Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, and Museum of Natural History.

"They're good enough to be in there, so I don't see why I should wait" Staff at the Met removed their new aquisition early Sunday morning while Banksy's discount soup can print took pride of place in the MoMA for over three days before being torn down. |
