We Know Disneyland But Which One Is Dismaland Again?

Disneyland remains a unique amusement park that many families look forward to visiting but an artist has decided to create his own exhibition of it which he calls Dismaland.

Reports from CNN indicate that this latest exhibition is from Banksy, the art world's favorite agent provocateur.  He says Dismaland is modeled after Disneyland but is a warped vision of where is popularly called the happiest place on earth. 

It officially opened to the public over the weekend and is his largest exhibition to date which will run from August 21 to September 27, 2015. Banksy has built a reputation for leaving often political, frequently comical graffiti everywhere from London to Gaza and he remains anonymous as nobody can really confirm his identity.

When you arrive at the place, a girl in Mickey Mouse ears greets you with a dead eyed look and "Welcome to Dismaland" There are 3 galleries that feature pieces from Banksy and over 50 other artists from 17 countries exhibiting a common irreverence toward the political and cultural establishment.
