Britain’s newest theme park, “Dismaland”, opened on August 20, with a decrepit castle, a merry-go-round horse set to be cooked and model boats on a pool compelete with  refugees, are all courtesy the elusive British street artist Banksy.

However, unlike  Banksy’s, famed ironic murals that pop up in unexpected places, this show is a different kind of “bemusement park”.  See the pictures below and you will understand why in Banksy’s  scheme of things, life is not a fairy tale — but it’s art and it’s open to different kinds of interpretation.
