What is at MOCO Museum?

There are actually two Moco’s, one in Amsterdam and one in Barcelona. The museum showcases contemporary, modern and street art that is designed to reflect upon modern society. The Moco Museum in Amsterdam is housed in the Villa Alsberg, a historic building on Museumplein. This is nicely placed to make a day of it at the museums with Rijksmuseum, the famous Van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk Museum all nearby.

Moco Museum takes its name from MOdern and COtemporary and is privately owned by Lionel and Kim Logchies which makes it kind of unique, a lot of the art you’ll see is actually on loan from their network of art collectors. Moco have championed the inclusive model of making an experience that is interactive, accessible and inspiring. With 2m millions visitors and counting they are doing something right. It is one of our favourite museums in Amsterdam.
