More than 30,000 people have been to see the works of Banksy in Auckland and the exhibition has proved so popular opening hours are being extended.
The Aotea Centre will be open from 10am to 10pm on February 2 and 3 before closing for good on February 6.
People who
have pre-purchased tickets were urged to redeem them as soon as possible to avoid missing out as daily numbers are strictly limited.
Some of the 80 featured works will never be seen again, including one massive piece of street art featuring street kids in LA erecting a flag on a burned out car, a parody of the famous Battle of Iwo Jima photograph featuring American soldiers in Japan.
Producer Stewart Macpherson said an extraordinary number of people have visited the exhibition this summer, making it one of the most successful art exhibitions New Zealand has ever hosted.
"We don't want anyone missing out," he said.
