A museum like no other in Amsterdam. The Moco Museum (stands for Modern Contemporary Museum) is located on the famous Museumplein. However, the museum cannot be compared with museums such as the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum or the Stedelijk Museum. This museum does everything in its own way and you don't have to go out for a full day. After 1 or 2 hours you are back outside and you have seen the entire collection of art. However, the museum is extremely popular, especially among young people. The museum has something special; many modern art by modern artists such as Banksy, Yayoi Kasuma, Jeff Koons and many others.

Property

The building of the Moco Museum is old. It has been completely renovated in recent years but has kept the old details well. So you have beautiful glass and lead windows and there are still smooth marble floors. The type of art fits very well in the stately building because this is also a bit special.

The collection

As mentioned before, the Moco Museum does not have a collection of thousands of works. That is also the power of this museum. There is a permanent collection of works by Banksy (ground floor), Yayoi Kasuma (1st floor) and artists such as Jeff Koons, Andy Warhol, Stik and Jean-Michel Basquiat. In addition, temporary exhibitions by various artists can be admired.For the actual exhibitions, always check the website of the museum as this one is always up to date.

Popular

Despite the fact that the Moco Museum is a special museum and, as previously written, is not comparable to other museums in Amsterdam, that is potentially also the strength of this museum. There is not a single museum that has grown so fast in numbers of visitors in recent years. The fact that the museum can be done well in a few hours is very wise. This way you can combine this nicely with other attractions you want to visit during a city trip Amsterdam.
