At Bristol's City Museum there is currently an exhibition of Banksy artwork.
Years ago Banksy painted an image of Michael Jackson represented as the witch in the Hansel and Gretel story - in the picture Michael is offering candy to attract a couple of young kids inside a house.
Now the Hansel and Gretel painting was not originally part of the Banksy display in Bristol. The painting was put on display only after Michael's death as a 'tribute' to him (they even put candles around the picture).
I can hardly believe the museum staff think this is an appropriate tribute to someone who has just died considered the message emplied by the painting. I would have had less issues with this if the picture was part of the display from the beginning, but I find really offensive that this has been added on purpose only after his death. There is really no respect left in this world.
I have sent an email to Bristol museum to complain and ask them to take the picture down. I believe the message will be stronger if lots of MJ fans would write to the museum in protest asking to take the picture down - they might listen to us if they start receiving lots of complaints.
Please help me and write an email to general.museum@bristol.gov.uk
