Banksy (who I've waffled about before) continues his museum work by getting the Natural History Museum to exhibit an unnatural specimen.
The rat was stuffed and clad in wraparound sunglasses, scaled down to fit the top of its head, a rucksack on its back, and with a microphone in one paw.
A miniature spraycan sits at the departed rodent's feet, while above it is sprayed in graffiti-style lettering "our time will come".
The piece called "Banksus Militus Ratus" was displayed with a text that said the common sewer rat had some remarkable new characteristics.
