    • Dismaland

      British graffiti artist Banksy's latest project, a parody of an English seaside theme park staged in a run-down, gloomy site in southwestern England's Weston-super-Mare, began to be dismantled on September 28, 2015 and the creator plans to send its parts to the "Jungle" camp for migrants in Calais, France to provide shelters.

      The mock theme park opened to the public on August 22, 2015. In addition to work's by the elusive artist the project featured 50 international artists including Damien Hirst, musical performances and arcade games. See what you missed...

      The theme park was a sellout for the length of it's five-week run. Dismantling the theme park is expected to take three weeks.

      In an interview with the Guardian newspaper, Banksy said, "I think a museum is a bad place to look at art; the worst context for art is other art."
