The Banksy exhibition has been the most successful ever at the Bristol Museum.  Around 1/2 million people queued in good British fashion to see pictures, sculpture and amusing visuals in a exhibition room and dotted around the whole museum.  An excellent way to bring people into contact with all the museum has to show.

Paul Smith, Labour Candidate reintroduced free museum opening to Bristol in 1998 and queued himself for almost two hours (not bad apparently) to see the show. "It was fantastic to see how this exhibition caught the imagination of Bristolians and people from across the country and beyond. It was the most thought provoking exhibition since the 1998 one detailing Bristol's involvement in slavery and the misery it caused. Free museum opening is now standard for all public museums across the country, one of Labour's excellent policies.  I hope that this policy can be extended to funding the same access to science museums such as @tBristol".
