Slip into the bold and rebellious world of the Moco Museum, a modern and contemporary art haven that’s taken root in Amsterdam, Barcelona, and London. In Amsterdam, it’s perched on the Museumplein, inside the historic Villa Alsberg—a 1904 townhouse that’s a stone’s throw from the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum. Here, the vibe is anything but stuffy: think Banksy’s biting stencils, Basquiat’s raw energy, and Kusama’s hypnotic polka dots, all crashing against the elegant bones of a classic Dutch building. It’s a private gig, born in 2016 from the vision of gallerists Lionel and Kim Logchies, who wanted to fling art’s doors wide open—especially for the young and curious.

The Moco doesn’t just hang paintings; it stirs the pot. You’ll find Haring’s playful defiance, Hirst’s provocative edge, and Warhol’s pop culture jabs alongside rising stars and digital art like NFTs that pull you into the now. The Amsterdam outpost rocks a permanent Banksy exhibit—think Girl with Balloon and Laugh Now—while rotating shows keep it fresh, from Studio Irma’s immersive tech trips to JR’s street-smart storytelling. Hit the garden for oversized sculptures that spill into the open air, or duck into the Barcelona spot at Palau Cervelló for a Gothic-meets-modern twist, or the new London digs near Marble Arch, opened in 2024, shaking up the UK scene. It’s art that doesn’t whisper—it shouts, reflects, and dares you to think, all wrapped in spaces that feel alive and unscripted.
