Peckham Rock, also called Wall Art, is a 2005 artwork by British street artist Banksy, in the form of a lump of concrete decorated in the style of a cave painting and depicting "a supposed prehistoric figure pushing a shopping trolley".[It was originally displayed in the British Museum, without the knowledge of the museum staff, after being installed there by Banksy. Original installation Peckham Rock is a piece of concrete, approximately 15 cm × 25 cm, supposedly sourced from Peckham but actually from Hackney.[2] It depicts a buffalo, pierced by arrows, and a "lumbering hominin-like figure" pushing a shopping trolley.[2] In a 2005 art intervention, Banksy clandestinely attached the rock to a wall in the "Roman Britain" collection of the British Museum, with a placard in the style of the museum with the title "Wall art" that dated the piece to the "post catatonic era" and credited it to a little-known artist named "Banksymus Maximus".[2][3] The work went undiscovered for "several days",[4] with later sources giving more specific but inconsistent amounts of time ranging from "three days",[1][2] to "weeks".[5] It was not the first such installation by Banksy; in 2003, he similarly hung a painting in the Tate,[6] and earlier in 2005, he installed a fake beetle in the American Museum of Natural History in New York.[2] Subsequent exhibits After Peckham Rock was removed from the British Museum's walls, it was re-exhibited in 2005 at the Outside Institute in London, listed as on loan from Banksy and the British Museum.[3] Banksy stated that he did not intend to retrieve Peckham Rock, and the British Museum wrote at the time that they were accepting it "as a donation to its collections".[3] However, it was eventually labelled as "lost property" and returned to Banksy.[2] The only Banksy work actually in the museum's permanent collection is a counterfeit ten-pound note featuring Princess Diana.[6] Peckham Rock returned to public display in the British Museum in 2018, on loan from Banksy, for an exhibit on protest art titled "I object"
