Some of the world's most famous artworks have been recreated using chocolate Smarties.

The edible exhibition, created by food artist Prudence Emma Staite, will go on display at the V&A Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green, east London, from Friday.

The pictures have been produced for the Smartie Art Exhibition which is being launched to celebrate the return of Nestle's blue Smarties.

The creations include a famous piece of graffiti by underground artist Banksy, a Marilyn Monroe print by Andy Warhol, and the painting Bathers at Asnieres by Georges Seurat.
