I'm a simple emigrant, and I nevertheless ended up at a Banksy exhibition

In the summer, at the same time as I was on vacation in Heidelberg, there was an exhibition of works by this famous street artist. I really wanted to see it, but we kept putting it off because the weather was wonderful, and on the last day of the vacation rain was forecast. In the end, when we arrived, of course there were no tickets left. That's when I started finding out where the exhibition would go next and when. And so, in early October Banksy's works arrived in Mainz. This time I bought a ticket in advance for the past weekend. Mainz is a small city about 45 km from Frankfurt, so even some metro trains go there, but it's easier to reach by a suburban train. A one-way ticket costs 8.8€, we bought a day pass for 17.15€, and we paid almost the same for admission to the exhibition — 18€. The exhibition itself turned out to be much bigger than I had expected: more than a hundred works were spread across several halls, and at the end of the route there was a big screen where, for some reason, in a short film many of Banksy's works were shown again. More often they were posters with street graffiti, but there were also real pieces of wall and various exhibits. I really liked it, and for you I even took a few photos! And do you enjoy going to exhibitions and museums? #German_trips
