Banksy's universe takes over Madrid: urban art, politics and provocation
Fecha 01 February, 2026 00:01 - 28 February, 2026 23:59
Throughout February 2026, the Banksy Museum Madrid becomes a must-see for lovers of urban art and social commentary. From February 1st to 28th , the space brings together 170 life-size reproductions of some of the most iconic works by Banksy , the anonymous artist who has transformed graffiti into a global cultural phenomenon.
...With tickets starting at €11 , the exhibition offers an immersive journey through iconic images that combine direct political messages , irony, and a distinctive, biting humor . Works that have appeared on walls around the world—and which in many cases have since been destroyed or disappeared—are brought back to life here, carefully contextualized.
Urban art with a message
The museum structures the exhibition around the major themes that run through Banksy's work: war, consumerism, power, surveillance, and social control . Each piece is accompanied by information about the place and context in which it was created, allowing visitors to understand not only the image itself, but also the urgency of the message that inspired it.
An experience for all audiences
Beyond aesthetic admiration, the exhibition invites reflection. Banksy challenges the viewer with works that question the system, the role of the media, institutional violence, and collective passivity, demonstrating why his work remains as relevant as it is unsettling.
📍 Location: Banksy Museum Madrid · Paseo de la Esperanza, 1 (Arganzuela)
📅 Dates: February 1 – 28, 2026
🎟 Tickets: from €11
An ideal exhibition both for those who already follow Banksy's work and for those who want to discover, for the first time, why his art continues to shake consciences around the world.
