Dismaland- Banksy's best work yet?

Banksy has recently created a temporary art show also referred to as a 'bemusement' park called Dismaland in Weston-super-mare, Somerset. Initial reactions to the theme park appeared to be of shock and disbelief, however it is proving to be one of Banksy's greatest creations yet; which is saying something.

The apocalyptic-esque theme park really is something to behold and although it is clearly an anti-capitalist statement towards real theme parks like Disneyland, the irony is that the whole thing has been remarkably successful and is estimated to have generated £20m for the local area.

Many bands performed through the month long pop-up style event and there was also comedy shows. John Turner of 'Visit Somerset' referred to the event as a  "global phenomenon of major importance for the region".

This really is a one of it's kind type of event and judging by it's success, it is likely something that the enigma himself 'Banksy' will try again. Let's hope so!
