Bag by Gavin Turk
They are up against the Foundling Museum, in London, Holburne Museum in Bath and the Time Machine Funtington museum in Chichester.
The controversial artist is probably best known for his “sculpture” entitled Bag – which to all appearances is a black bin bag. Turk was awarded the Jack Goldhill Sculpture Prize for the work by the Royal Academy of Arts in 2000.

“@katachua unless you live in old city, then a wheelie-bin isn't allowed at all. no rubbish to be created by any of the businesses that the council want to promote by creating a pedestrianised zone, but since the businesses won't be able to get deliveries, or park if the owners live on-site I'm sure that won't be a problem.”

“Surely the Council won't collect a bin bag unless it's an an approved wheelie-bin?”

“"The Bristol City Council-run museum in Park Row..."
Bristol Museum and Art Gallery is on Queens Road not Park Row.
