It's About the Journey Not Just the Destination
Walking through Walsh Bay, we found the Sydney Sculpture Exhibition set among the redeveloped bond stores and wharves. We visited in August 2024, and they should be on display until November 2024, although some appear to be permanent displays.
We walked from Circular Quay which took around 20 minutes, although we did stop several times to take photos.
While you’re here there are some excellent eateries for a snack, refreshment of meal.
Displayed in the Sydney Town Hall and open until 19 May 2024, The Art of Banksy Sydney is an impressive display of some of his greatest works.
Starting with a timeline of Banksy’s works, the exhibition illustrates the progression of his works and its commentary on western society. Each of the roughly 180 pieces was explained so that everyone could understand why it was created and the impact it had.
Copies of work from Ukraine were displayed along with recorded reactions from Ukrainians and Russians. As expected the Russian reaction was aggressive and negative, having their actions called out and broadcast to the world.
We loved the art and its political content and were pleased that we took the opportunity to see it while it was in Sydney.
