Banksy's 'The Migrant Child' mural has been restored and is being displayed on a boat touring the canals of Venice.

After suffering damage from humidity and salt water, Banksy's 'The Migrant Child' mural in Venice was removed for preservation in 2025. In May 2026, the restored artwork was unveiled during the Venice Biennale and is now being transported through the city's canals as part of an initiative highlighting human rights and social issues.
