Murals still from the Banksy exhibition K and I visited in November.
This was still before you entered, the girl appeared originally in Nottingham, UK, and the bike is long removed.
I found this online: "It shows a `naked´ zebra standing by as his stripes are hung out to dry by an African lady. It is a playful piece, but maybe the fact that it appeared in the drought-ridden country of Mali and the absurdity of using water in such a frivolous waypoints to an issue that, perhaps, the western world could, and should, do more to help impoverished people in the developing world."
K needed to see the toilets and waiting outside I found these two as well:
Different exhibitions are installed in the formerly Packhof department store, it is now called "Ackhof" - a great idea to keep a building alive, I think.

Great murals! I love all of them. I wonder if washing the stripes would use less water than washing the whole zebra?
:-) I hope zebras need no washing at all!
It was a great installation!
How engaging. thank you! Aloha
Love both Banksy murals, but those near the toilets are also beautiful.
Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Iris.

Love Banksy. So glad you got to visit this exhibition and show as much as you like -- I'll be liking them too!
...I would love to see a real Banksy mural.
Banksy indeed is a genius!
Fun exhibit. I like the idea of giving the building new life as an exhibit hall.
Bertiebo, I pretty much loved them all!

CJ, yes. Here in Braunschweig we have a similar building... who knows, so far it´s empty...
Banksy is one great artist. Love the murals.
It was a great exhibit/installation!
That is a good reuse of the building.
Yes!!
I never did see the appeal of his work.
