Following a slew of pop-ups and stand-alone exhibits, elusive England-based street artist Banksy is getting the New York City museum treatment: The Banksy Museum is set to debut at 227 Canal Street by Broadway on May 15.
According to an official press release, the space will display over 160 works by the artist—from his instantly recognizable street art to studio pieces, videos and animated visuals—making this “the largest display of Banksy work ever seen in a single setting.”
Similar destinations have already debuted in Barcelona, Brussels, Kraków and Paris, all of them projects by Hazis Vardar, also the brainchild behind the famous Palace Nightclub in France.
“Street art belongs in the raw setting of the streets,” said Vardar in an official statement. “But if people can’t see it, is it even art? Little of Banksy’s works are visible to the public at large. Most have been stolen for resale, inadvertently destroyed, or erased by overzealous city cleaning teams. Most of this transient art could only be viewed on tiny smartphone screens, which is no way to experience the scale or emotion of Banksy’s work. So we knew that we needed to create an exhibition that would bring Banksy’s art back before the public.”
To do the work justice, the creators of the museum created a space that “reflects the street experience” and employed a number of anonymous street artists to recreate Banksy’s work. That is all to say: what you’ll see on the walls and propped up for display won’t necessarily be Banksy’s own work but celebratory recreations of both iconic and lesser known pieces.
Tickets for the museum, which will be open daily from 10am to 8pm, are available right here. The exhibit spans the second and third floors of the building and, according to the press release, takes about an hour to be seen in totality—although you are encouraged to take in all the pieces at your own pace.
By 2026, the Battery in downtown Manhattan is going to look pretty different, courtesy of the $200 million, city-funded Battery Coastal Resilience project that broke ground earlier this week.
Part of a larger effort that seeks to protect the area from climate change-related issues—think storm surges and rising sea levels, among others—the project involves the rebuilding and raising of the wharf promenade in the Battery, which was originally constructed by in the 1940s.
“The Battery Coastal Resilience project will help protect Lower Manhattan from the stronger storms that climate change is bringing while ensuring that New Yorkers can still enjoy the beautiful green space and cultural icons that The Battery has come to be known for,” said Mayor Eric Adams in an official statement.
But, there’s more: the above-mentioned plans are being carried forward alongside a separate initiative, the South Battery Park City Resiliency project, that will also change the look of the neighborhood.
The latter effort will help create an integrated coastal flood risk management system along the northern border of Battery Park all the way to the Museum of Jewish Heritage. For that to happen, authorities will build an entirely new Wagner Park and surrounding pavilion, lifting the 3.5-acre destination by about ten feet and adding a new restaurant and community space to the on-site activations.
Last week, the city actually released a request for proposals (RFP) for the new eatery.
According to the document, those in charge are looking for prospective restaurant operators whose “price points are aligned with and responsive to a diverse clientele,” who are looking to serve “high-quality, healthy food options” within operating hours that are “compatible with the neighborhood’s character” and who will make an effort not to disturb surrounding folks with loud noises or foul odors.
Time-wise, officials are hoping that both the revamped park and the new restaurant will open by the spring of 2025.
The Battery Coastal Resilience project and the South Battery Park City Resiliency project are part of the larger Lower Manhattan Coastal Resiliency project, which will cost the city about $1.7 billion and also includes the Brooklyn Bridge-Montgomery Coastal Resilience and the Easy Side Coastal Resiliency project.
Clearly, the city is making an effort to step up our coastal infrastructure. Here’s to hoping New Yorkers will do their part in mitigating the effects of climate change as well.
