What makes a private library baller? How about 3,600 square feet filled with landmark and bejeweled books, an original Sputnik 1 satellite hanging from the ceiling, a chandelier from a James Bond film, and three levels packed with more rare artifacts than your local history museum?

“New Yorkers don’t care about art, they care about pets. So I’m exhibiting them instead. I wanted to make art that questioned our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming, but it ended up as chicken nuggets singing.

There are no paintings or graffiti in the entire space. So here's just a taste of what you'll experience in Banksy's "Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill".
What's this? A flying car that will actually exist, roll on real streets and highways and then take off into the wild blue? You betcha. It's more like a drivable airplane, but we'd rather call it a flying car.
