Travellers at Milan's main train station will this week be able to take a break among reproductions of murals by elusive street artist Banksy.
"The Word of Banksy -- The Immersive Experience" opens Friday in the Mosaics Gallery, on the rail level of Milan's monumental Central Station.
It features reproductions of some of Banksy's best-known pieces, such as "Nola," created in 2008 out of sympathy with the people of hurricane-battered New Orleans.
Banksy's street art has been recreated by young European artists and installed against backgrounds mimicking their original street setting.
New works reproduced include "Aachoo!!," depicting a mask-less woman sneezing and knocking her dentures off, and "Steve Jobs," which Banksy painted on a wall at the entrance to the Calais encampment of migrants hoping to reach England.
