Moco Museum

Located in the historic Villa Alsberg on Museumplein, Moco Museum showcases a unique collection of modern and contemporary art, featuring works by artists like Banksy, Warhol, Basquiat, Kusama, and Haring. The museum offers immersive digital art experiences and temporary exhibitions, providing a dynamic contrast to Amsterdam’s classical museums. Visitors can also enjoy a gift shop and event space within the museum.

Planning your visit

Moco Amsterdam occupies Villa Alsberg, a 1904 townhouse on Museumplein standing directly opposite the Rijksmuseum and a short walk from the Van Gogh Museum — a placement that is entirely the point. Inside a building that looks like it should hold Dutch masters, you find Banksy, Warhol, Basquiat, Haring, Kusama and a rotating programme of digital and immersive installations. The Banksy holdings are the principal draw, and the museum leans deliberately accessible rather than academic, which draws a younger crowd than its neighbours.

It is small, which cuts both ways. A visit typically runs an hour, making it easy to fit around other plans rather than committing half a day. But the rooms are domestic in scale, and at weekends the popular installations develop genuine bottlenecks, so timed entry is worth having rather than optional. The basement digital rooms are the busiest.

Because the museum is quick, most bookable options pair it with something else to make an afternoon. Combined tickets with a one-hour canal cruise are the most common format and work well — the cruise departures are close by, and the two together fill a relaxed half-day without rushing. Straightforward entrance tickets covering the Banksy collection and current exhibitions suit independent visits. Instagram-oriented photo-spot walking tours of scenic Amsterdam finish at the museum, which suits visitors who want the city's canals and the art in one loop. There are also combination passes covering nightlife venues with taxi transfers, aimed at a different kind of evening entirely. Current options and times are listed below.
