Sensational Banksy exhibition in Leipzig: works of art that move!

With the opening of the exhibition "House of Banksy Leipzig - An Unauthorized Exhibition" on May 30, 2025, Leipzig attracts everyone's attention. Until October 26, 2025, art lovers and interested parties have the opportunity to learn more about the mysterious artist Banksy at Grimmaische Straße 10, the former Esprit Store. With an exhibition area of ​​1,500 sqm, this is the most extensive Banksy show in Europe and shows over 150 motifs by the gifted street artist.

The opening was almost fully booked and attracts another audience after the successful stations in Munich and Hamburg, which together attracted around 300,000 visitors. Works are shown in the form of graffiti, photographs, sculptures and video installations as well as prints on a wide variety of materials such as canvas, wood and concrete. About 80 percent of the works are hardly or no longer accessible, which underlines the relevance of this exhibition.

diverse topics and original works

The topics of the exhibition are diverse and extremely up to date: war, xenophobia, police violence, violence against women and the escape of people are treated urgently. The best known works include "Girl with Balloon", "The Mild Mild West" and "Peace Dove". A self -portrait of Banksy and works of art that have arisen on the ruins in Ukraine should not be missing. The exhibition is curated by Virginia Jean, which is internationally active in the area of ​​street art and is considered an expert for Banksys works.

Banksy is not only known for his impressive works of art, but also for his critical and often political messages. His identity remains a mystery to this day, and the artist is according to the artist between 45 and 50 years old. According to [leipziginfo.de] (https://www.leipziginfo.de/aktuelles/artikel/ exhibition-the-mystery-of-banksy-a-mind-im-kunstwerk-leipzig/) he is considered one of the most expensive contemporary artists and achieves horrendous prices at auctions.
