A unique Christmas gift for your favourite Banksy fan

In need of a last-minute present for someone who loves street art? Tickets to The Art of Banksy are sure to go down a treat! This massive exhibition boasts the world's largest collection of original and authenticated Banksy artworks. We're talking over 150 pieces here, with some exhibited for the very first time.

Right now on Regent Street you can feast your eyes on seminal works by the incognito street artist like Girl With A Balloon and Rude Copper. There are also global exclusives: the first ever Flower Thrower, and Banksy's riff on the Mona Lisa, neither of which have ever been on public display before. It's a feast of contemporary pop culture, laced with social and political commentary, and garnished with understated wit.

This smash-hit exhibition has already attracted over 1.5 million visitors in 15 cities across the globe to date. General admission starts at £17.50 and kids under 12 go free, making it great for family days out over the festive season. What's more, The Art of Banksy shop is chock-full of even more great gift ideas, from stocking fillers to framed prints.

Let's Go And See The Art of Banksy!
