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

During 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 go to it, but we kept postponing because the weather was wonderful, and on the last day of the vacation they promised rain. In the end, when we arrived, of course there were no tickets left. Then 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 regional train. A one-way ticket costs €8.80, we got a day pass for €17.15, and paid almost the same for the entrance to the exhibition — €18. The exhibition itself turned out to be much bigger than I had expected: more than a hundred works were displayed in several halls, and at the end there was a large screen where, for some reason, in a short film many of Banksy's works were shown again. They were mostly posters with street graffiti, but there were also real pieces of walls and various exhibits. I really liked it, and for you I even took a few photos! And do you like going to exhibitions and museums? #German_trips
