Banksus Militus Ratus
Artwork by Banksy
Banksus Militus Ratus is a piece of artwork by British artist Banksy. The piece consists of a stuffed rat with a spray can in a glass-fronted box. Banksy first exhibited the piece in 2004 in the foyer of London's Natural History Museum, without the museum's consent.[1]
In 2014 the piece went on auction at Sotheby's for an amount higher than £500,000. Sotheby's did not disclose the exact figure.[2]
