Banksy Artwork Mistakenly Painted Over By Council
A piece of street art by famous guerilla artist Banksy has been mistakenly painted over by a council-ordered anti-graffiti team in Melbourne Australia.
Tourists and local residents have been left annoyed by the removal of the priceless street art – a stencil of a parachuting rat – the last remaining piece of Banksy art in the city.
A typical tourist hotspot, people would go hunting around Melbourne just to see this specific piece of graffiti, but alas no more. Cleaners were under instruction to remove all unapproved graffiti in the area, but were unfortunately unaware of the significance of the Banksy piece.
