Banksy's art is about to land in Sydney ... here's how to see it
Check out some of the elusive artist's best works.
An exhibition of Banksy's artworks, which has been seen by more than 1.6 million people around the world, is coming to the Harbour City.
There are few contemporary artists that inspire wanderlust quite like Banksy. From Well Hung Lover in Bristol and Falling Shopper in London to Umbrella Girl in New Orleans, the elusive Brit's street art - replete with political satire - attracts travellers from all over the world.
This summer, however, you don't have to go too far to check out his creations, thanks to The Art of Banksy: Without Limits opening at Sydney's Town Hall on January 24. More than 150 artworks including originals, prints, photos, lithographs, sculptures and murals are part of the travelling exhibition, which has already been seen by more than 1.6 million people around the world.
Don't miss the highly Instagrammable Phone Booth (pictured), along with prints of iconic murals such as The Flower Thrower and Kissing Coppers. Until March 16; artofbanksyau.com/sydney

Akash is the Deputy Travel Editor for Australian Community Media. He has lived and worked in four cities around the world – Sydney, London, New Delhi and New York – and, at last count, travelled to 42 countries.
My all-time favourite destination is ... New York. You can drop a pin anywhere in Manhattan and start walking in any direction, and the sights and sounds of the city that never stops will begin to stimulate all your senses in an instant.
Next on my bucket list is … Scandinavia - at the peak of summer, when the sun almost never sets.
My top travel tip is … If you’re flying to Sydney from anywhere in the world, pick a window seat far from the wing on the left-hand-side of the aeroplane. If the weather gods and flight path align, you’ll have the most incredible views of the Sydney Harbour and Opera House.
