The elusive British graffiti artist Banksy has unveiled his latest project — a derelict seaside theme park called "Dismaland" complete with a run-down castle and a dead Cinderella.
The artist, best known for his stenciled street art, said it wasn't a "swipe at Disney, but a "festival of art, amusements and entry-level anarchism."
The project, staged at an unused swimming pool in southwestern England's Weston-super-Mare, is Banksy's biggest show to date. It includes art galleries featuring Banksy's own work as well as those from artists including Damien Hirst, alongside musical performances and arcade games.
