How the Mystery of Banksy supports The Christie Charity

The Christie Charity is the official partner for the Mystery of Banksy. The exhibition will raise money for The Christie Charity through “tap to donate” spots around the exhibition, alongside a dedicated charity event takeover and an exclusively commissioned artwork which will be donated for auction.

Donations at the Mystery of Banksy will raise money for our appeal to bring a life-changing Total Body PET-CT scanner to The Christie. This incredible new scanner will make a real difference to so many people facing the toughest times of their lives.
