Hooked Up - Banksy Donates $150,000 Statue

'Banksy is no angel, but he has left us this gift'.

Banksy has hooked up the Bristol Museum with a statue valued at over $150,000 (pictured above).

Bristol is thought to be the birthplace of Banksy. Banksy previously put on an exhibition at the Bristol Museum in 2009 which drew in the biggest crowds ever in the museum's 190 year history.
