NYC's New Banksy Museum Opens Without Artist's Approval

TL;DR Summary
A new Banksy Museum in New York City features replicas of 160 original Banksy artworks, but without the artist's consent. The museum, founded by Hazis Vardar, aims to preserve Banksy's work, though critics argue it undermines the artist's intent and message. Banksy has previously denounced the commercialization of his art, and legal experts suggest that while he holds copyright, enforcing it could compromise his anonymity.
