The Art of Banksy: Without Limits

When I first heard about this, I didn't know how long it was gonna run for (when I checked, you can get tickets until early March), so I figured better sooner than later? Had to download and sign up for the Fever app (but not without finding some random referral code to get $7 off - that one's mine, in case anyone was wondering). Mind you, this exhibition is not sanctioned by Banksy. 

I guess like most people, we've all seen the headlines about Banksy, but I'm not enough of an art nerd lah

After a carb rich breakfast (pandan egg tart AND a maple bacon donut) washed down with tea, I checked out, left my bag at the hotel, and walked over in the heavy rain to the exhibition. Figured if I try my luck again to see if I could go in a little early.

NGL, the address was a little confusing, and the people working at the Royal Plaza on Scotts hotel knew it, because they knew to redirect people to the exhibition, which is located right next door. 

They should've put this out at the hotel entrance

Found it

I was there a little before my allocated entrance time. They just cincai anyhow let me in. I must've screengrabbed the ticket QR on the app (connectivity issues/don't want to pay any more for roaming), cos they just scanned me in and off I went. 

It wasn't terribly crowded - which could be because it was a working Friday, or the weather, I dunno. But I took my time looking at stuff, taking a shit ton of pictures. I was probably in there for about an hour, give or take. Don't want to spoil it for anyone by posting more pics here, but the one thing I never knew was that he was the one who did the cover art for Blur's Think Tank album. 

The gift shop items were kinda meh. I only got myself some postcards. 

After that, I walked back to the hotel, got my luggage, and went on the rest of the day..
