Subversive street artist Banksy is not a fan of museums and galleries, once writing that inside their rooms, "you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires".
Nor does the famously anti-capitalist mystery Brit support people profiting from his work. In 2022 he accused fashion giant Guess of "helping themselves" to his motifs.
