Banksy woz ere: London Zoo removes artwork for ‘safekeeping’

A Banksy artwork at London Zoo has been removed for “safekeeping” and to allow the popular attraction to use its full entrance during its “busy summer period”. The piece, which shows a gorilla lifting up a shutter and allowing a number of birds and a seal to escape, has been replaced with a replica. A nearby sign reads “Banksy woz ere” and offers an apology to any disappointed fans of the street artist. Last chance to visit
