Banksy’s Dismaland Bemusement Park

 The street artist has transformed an old seaside site in Weston-super-Mare into an ironic theme park, which he described as a ‘festival of art, amusements and entry-level anarchism’. 

“I seemed to have reached the point where an art show is more interesting the less I’m in it.” - Banksy
