haha true, can't blame em for trying to bring something decent to town

council probably spent millions on this while we've got potholes everywhere.

ffs another thing that's gonna clog up the city centre. like we don't have enough roadworks already.

Peyton Hall2026-06-30T16:43:00.000Z

i don't get art but weather's gonna be hot anyway might go check it out to get out of the sun lol

can't believe they're bringing the whole ceiling down under. gotta admire the logistics. hope they sell popcorn.

Quinn Murphy2026-06-30T18:16:00.000Z

me and the missus were gonna fly over but flights are a joke right now. maybe next year.

Quinn Murphy2026-06-30T18:25:00.000Z

zzz another overpriced exhibition for rich people to take selfies at.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-30T18:36:00.000Z

is it actually the real paintings or just prints? article says 'under license' so probably just high quality replicas lol

Aria Wilson2026-06-30T18:50:00.000Z

nah it's a proper exhibition with projections and stuff, not gonna be the actual ceiling but still worth it probs.
