Episode on Street art in Prague would be awesome

[Lwize]

There was a red fire extinguisher in the Italy Pavilion at Venice's La Biennale di Venezia in 1993.
But no accompanying black waste bin.
Excellent presentation in Prague.

A friend of mine forced me to go. I heard the owner and his son talking, they were talking about positioning the heaters in the exhibition in a way that would direct the visitors to the souvenir section. Their only goal is to make more money.

Please do a street art episode !!! Even if street art locations change often and the quality declines due to vandalism it would be so awesome to see some original pieces of great street art to have something to look forward to on the next Prague trip !!!

[GoonSmith]

Yes please Czech Street Art!!!
I also love you recognise the duality of graff and street art, you can't have the "good" without the "bad"

I Was forced to go there during a School Trip, and i hated every second of it.

[HansBezemer]

The subtitle said that the murals were "spay-painted". I somehow knew art students didn't have the balls to do that.

there's one of these here in Sydney, Australia that is still open! People are so unaware of what Banksy stands for that they assume he's endorsed it, without realising Banksy has always been about making the public aware of injustices and not wanting to profit from it... $45 (27 Euro) for a bunch of fakes is ridiculous, it only takes a few minutes to read online reviews to see if it's fake or not. Whenever I visit a new city anywhere in the world I always search for the main art gallery and it's the first place I visit when I do because it's great to see what a city's residents can offer.

That kneewall stopping you 100% has that RPG game energy of "a 4" tree fell across the road, this path is blocked".

[alexties]

Honestly giving original banksy work such a high value is more silly to me than a fake exibition like that

[mcdonciii]

I would love to watch an episode about streetart! I bet you have some of Noriaki's Watcher in Prague, please find it!

[JB-hfpb]

I was recently in Prague and saw this. At first I thought, oh wow...but I thought about it and figured it is not possible. All works of art from Banksy is usually presented as a mystery. Thank you for confiming my suspicions!😎

Saw you filming at the Astronomical Clock around 2 weeks ago and didn't want to interrupt. Thanks for the great videos! We loved Prague and will definitely be visiting it again along with the rest of your lovely country. We did go to this

[Welgeldiguniekalias]

"It's a secret for security reasons" 😂😂
Brilliant marketing, especially since Banksy is 100% not taking legal steps because that would expose his identity! 🤑🤑🤑

[nebexdoesnt]

Watched so many of your videos before visiting Prague - great insight & helped us avoid scams and maximise our trip. Prague is a brilliant city!

[Pomen]

I would love to watch you guys do more art. I know many won't watch it, but there is at least a few that are interested.

[Andrea-ousy]

Hilarious! 😂 Great Video! 🙏 greetings from Vienna!

[Relyx]

Literally in Prague right now after finding your videos a few months back. I thought it would be funny if I happened to see you around while I was here, and then I literally walked past you yesterday around Old Town (I can't remember where exactly). Thank you for bringing this incredible city to my attention. It truly is beautiful!

Just around the corner there is another fake (but sexy) "museum", where I worked selling tickets a few years ago. Half of the items is available on online shops, the other half has been made by the owner and his friends. They just made up a convincing text for the labels, but the most critic visitors will see how fake everything is.

[ReckWasTaken]

Right in the heart... ...also make a Prague Streetart episode!
