Dismaland, Temporary art installation in the United Kingdom
Dismaland was a temporary art project organized by street artist Banksy, constructed in the seaside resort town of Weston-super-Mare.
The pop-up exhibition opened on August 21, 2015, and closed on September 27, 2015.
It was billed as a 'bemusement park' and a dystopian version of Disneyland.
Visitors were treated to an array of satirical art pieces and interactive exhibits.
After closing, materials from Dismaland were repurposed to create shelters for migrants in Calais.
