In the lively Westerpark area, the Banksy Museum brings together the work of the world's most famous anonymous street artist under one roof. Because Banksy's murals are scattered across walls around the globe — and often impossible to see in person — this museum recreates them, presenting more than 160 works as full-size reproductions and reconstructions.
It opened in 2025 and is part of an international chain of Banksy museums; the works on show are recreations rather than originals, staged to capture the raw feel of the street.
What you'll see
Spread over two floors of atmospheric, dimly lit rooms, you'll find faithful reproductions of Banksy's best-known murals and stencils — from Girl with Balloon to his political and anti-war pieces — set into scenes that evoke their original street settings, alongside framed works and projections. An inexpensive audio guide adds the stories behind the art.
Good to know
Plan around an hour. It's a little outside the centre in Westerpark, near Fabrique des Lumières, so the two pair well. Note the building isn't fully wheelchair accessible, with reconstructions spread over two floors.
