In June 2023, Banksy's Cut and Run exhibition opened at Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art and tickets sold out quickly. Visitors queued on Thursday evening, saying that everyone they knew wanted admission. The show stayed open until 11 p.m. on weekdays and until 5 a.m. at weekends.
Banksy-like rats appeared nearby, but the exhibition's publicists denied they were authentic and the council removed one. Advice that the gallery was the certain place to see a real Banksy increased the value of entry.
The artist remained anonymous, but the order of admission was highly visible. Extended hours did not remove waiting; they expanded the hours in which it could happen, deep into the night.
