While news about Banksy always seems to be a hot topic, a different kind of reveal took centre stage at the Depot Mayfield this past weekend. In fact, one of Europe’s biggest Banksy exhibitions has become a hotspot for proposals!
Recently opened, The Mystery of Banksy is no longer just an exhibition, after Josh and Kurtis, a couple whose relationship began at a Banksy exhibition years ago, decided to take the ultimate leap during their visit. In a moment that felt like a scripted masterpiece, a surprise proposal turned the exhibition into a celebration of love. And the answer was, of course, ‘Yes!’
From street art to romance
The Mystery of Banksy – A Genius Mind opened in Depot Mayfield on March 13, bringing a large number of reproductions of Banksy’s most iconic pieces. For a Banksy-loving couple, there couldn’t have been any better timing. To them, this was more than just a cultural outing; it truly became a symbol of their relationship. Standing amidst the stencils and spray-painted tributes, the couple reflected on the journey that brought them together.
The Mystery of Banksy – A Genius Mind
Located in the heart of Manchester, the exhibition features over 200 expertly crafted reproductions of Banksy’s most significant work. Ranging from graffiti and sculptures to video installations. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or looking for the city’s most unique date spot, the gallery offers a deep dive into the elusive artist’s mind.
The exhibition is scheduled to run until July 2026, allowing visitors to experience the same magic that Josh and Kurtis found between the frames.
