"During my visit to Bari, there was a Banksy exhibition and it was a very nice surprise, so I couldn't miss this opportunity and spontaneously made my stay in Bari more enjoyable with this interesting artistic accent.
Teatro Margherita is on the list of my favorite places and I will definitely visit it every time I am in Bari."

"Only one floor open with limited photography ??? Not much to see. No toilet paper in restroom ??? Beautiful building on the exterior. Clearly this venue could improve with a wider selection of Bari art and photographic exhibit material. Nice restaurants nearby to try octopus sandwich."
