<NYに世界最大のバンクシーミュージアムOPEN>
The mysterious street artist Banksy
Banksy Museum exhibits the world's largest collection of 160 pieces
Opening on May 15, 2024 in the Soho area of Manhattan, New York!
Speaking of Banksy,
Although based in the UK,
A mysterious artist who appears out of nowhere one day, suddenly leaving behind his works all over the world.
Expressing serious realities such as war and peace, social and political messages through humor and satire.
The message and the location of the painting,
There are pros and cons,
The work is
They have disappeared in conflict zones, or they have been erased without permission because they were drawn without permission, or they have been quickly removed without a trace for the purpose of resale...
All the works that were erased or removed
Several selected talented artists have created life-size replicas
It is being exhibited in New York, with a street atmosphere intact.
I think most of Banksy's works are viewed on small screens such as smartphone photos,
It's amazing that you can see everything here in life-size.
If you come to NY, this is a must see!

It was a very rare experience
All day long, TV news and people's conversations were dominated by stories of "earthquake experiences."
Meanwhile,
Within 20 minutes of the earthquake
"I survived the NYC earthquake"
I survived the NYC earthquake.

●The “Harlem Renaissance Exhibition” is being held at the Metropolitan Museum (MET) on Fifth Avenue in NY●
After the emancipation of slaves from the 1920s to the 1940s, African Americans migrated from the southern United States in search of freedom.
Black culture will bloom in Harlem, NY.
There are 160 paintings, sculptures, videos, photographs, etc.!
I was surprised by the unique use of colors and touches.
While thinking about the historical background that I always talk about with Deep on my Harlem tours.
You can't help but experience the freedom and splendor of art.
It was so wonderful that people praised it and said, “It should be installed permanently!”
