Reproductions of famous artworks made from chocolate sweets have gone on display at a museum in east London.

Food artist Prudence Emma Staite used Smarties to reproduce pieces like Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe and Bathers at Asnieres by Georges Seurat.

Banksy's Clean Streets Maid is also part of the collection at the Smartie Art Exhibition in the V&A Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green.

The exhibition is being held to mark the return of Nestle's blue Smarties.
