2026 - January - Amsterdam - Moco Museum

The privately run Moco Museum in Amsterdam is located in the midst of the museum district, but it looks very different from the modern buildings around it.

Although modern art is exhibited here, the museum is housed in an old villa from 1904. It is not particularly large, and one might expect that it can only accommodate a few artworks. However, that is misleading. Every surface and room, including the basement and outdoor area, has been utilized to its fullest.

Among the exhibited works are many well-known names like Banksy, Keith Haring, and Robbie Williams. The latter even has his own room in the museum. There are black-and-white and colored pictures as well as cartoons that address his fears.

I found the visit worthwhile, even though one can certainly expect more from other museums.

By the way, there is also a Moco Museum in London and Barcelona. All locations are situated in areas heavily frequented by tourists, and I believe the Moco Museum was designed specifically for these visitors. The artworks are all easily accessible and very Instagram-friendly.
