Bansky's 'Dismaland' exhibition opens Friday at a derelict seafront swimming pool in Weston-Super-Mare, England, near the reclusive artist’s home town of Bristol. The show or ‘bemusement park’, is Bansky’s first in the U.K. since the Banksy v Bristol Museum show in 2009 and will be open for 6 weeks.
