In 2005, #Banksy installed this ‘cave painting’ in one of our galleries without permission, and without anyone noticing. He gave it a fake ID number and label, and it remained on the wall for 3 days before the Museum was alerted to the prank via Banksy’s website!🤦♀️ #IObjectpic.twitter.com/ed4rq8YxbJ
The hoax piece is going back on display – ‘officially’ this time – in our #IObject exhibition highlighting the history of dissent and protest around the world.
