An unprecendented assemblage of 150 privately-owned works by mysterious street artist Banksy are on view in Rome.
"War, Capitalism & Liberty" opened at the Palazzo Cipolla museum on Tuesday and continues through Sept. 4.
The artist is not involved in the exhibition and his identity has not been revealed; although Bansky is believed to be a native of Bristol, England, born 1974, and possibly named Robin Gillingham.
"Original paintings, prints, sculptures and rare objects will be exhibited, many of which have never been shown previously," according to Fondazione Terzo Pilastro, the non-profit arts organization putting on the event. "The exhibition will examine how social and political events of our world are viewed through the street art of Banksy."
