You may not think that the sight of dozens of dead flies on the walls of a pub would attract extra punters.

But when the insects are doing the high jump, arguing or just enjoying a quiet drink, then it’s easy to see how they have become an interesting attraction.

The Lord Nelson in Trafalgar Street, Brighton, is exhibiting Magnus Muhr’s famous dead insect art and anyone is welcome to fly by to take a look and purchase one.

The pub has hosted many art installations but owner Graham Boyd says this is the most ‘bizarre’ to date.

Muhr, 40, is a Swedish artist and photographer who created a buzz last year with his comical sketches of dead flies which he found on window ledges and lamp shades around his home.

The hilarious high-flying artwork became an instant internet sensation.

But it was pure coincidence that Ellie Donovan, who is working on Magnus’s new book of dead flies as part of her job with Summersdale Publishers in Chichester, is also a regular at the pub.

Twenty framed drawings, all limited editions, are now on the walls of the Nelson, available to buy for £60 each. The new book called the Life of Fly is also being sold in the pub.

Half of all profits will go to the Martlets Hospice in Hove.
