Budding Banksys can let their creativity run wild on a new interactive graffiti wall at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! in London. Sitting alongside a 3,000lb piece of the Berlin Wall – famed for being the world’s largest canvas and a place for local residents and international artists to express themselves – the wall is a place for visitors to let out their artistic sides and have a go at creating something special. Using digital spray cans, the infrared light is tracked by a computer to create a vibrant and colourful drawing that can also then be shared with others via Facebook or Twitter. General manager Natascha Crump commented: “This new interactive exhibit is the perfect addition to the attraction ... we are bringing a piece of history to life.”
The new wall is the first of over 13 interactive features and gallery enhancements which will be added to Ripley’s during the next 12 months. A series of new exhibits, new technological interactive advancements and a gallery refurbishment will all improve the visitor experience for the future.
