I would definitely recommend a visit.
This is one of the best exhibitions I’ve been to. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. The building is a lovely setting and at the end we got to sit in the garden and enjoy the external exhibits. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Worth it!
Worth visiting this Museum. It changes from classical experience. Even little children will enjoy it. Very colourful and rich in sensations.

Loved it
We loved the whole exhibition. Had no preconceived ideas at all so it was a total delight. Particularly liked the Banksy's and Keith Harries

A small engaging art museum worth visiting
What a cool collection! Everything is displayed nicely and it’s fun to discover new art. The entire vibe is playful and engaging. A few small criticisms: the museum should limit the number of people allowed in at once because it was way too crowded and sometimes hard to see the art (especially around crowds of people taking endless selfies). Visitors should also be aware that there are steep staircases and small rooms but no elevator or coat check. It can be a tight fit! But if you like pop art and playful modernism, this museum is a fun way to spend an hour or so.

Educational, immersive and colorful experience!
Our visit was great and we really enjoyed to free audio tour that taught about the artist and provoked your own thoughts. The work about mental health was the perfect start to the experience. We absolutely LOVED the colors of the digital art displays and had lots of fun with pictures in there!

An inspiring visit to the MOCO Amsterdam
An amazing museum, with great contemporary art. The free mobile audio guide was also wonderful. I came early in the morning - and there was no line and not too much of a croud insinde. Worth every euro and time well spent.

Worth a visit
This was our alternative to the Van gough museum, it was quite quick to get into and reasonably priced. There is a robbie williams exhibit about mental health banksy and some other artists its definitely any experience the rooms at the end where great definitely worth a visit

Small Museum with very few works of art; a bit overpriced
We were surprised at how small this museum was, and then when you consider that the bottom floor is currently a Robbie Williams exhibit that is really not very good, you realize this museum is pretty overpriced. There just aren’t a whole lot of actually good pieces of art to see here, and we even paid more for the tickets than we did for the Rijksmuseum. With that said, if you have nothing to do, or are particularly interested in seeing a few Banksy or Keith Haring pieces of art, it is worth it, but I probably would skip it if I had to do it again.

Good
Experience was good, feel like it’s a little pricey for what it was. The art was interesting and the immersive experience was my personal favourite, but very short!

Immersive, close, personal and positive
Immersive, festive, close, personal and positive, modern and contemporary. Like a rainbow shower with a dash of reality and deepness.

Pleasantly surprised
Great collection!! I wanted to see more and I was pleasantly surprised by Robbie Williams exhibit. Wish there was more exhibits of other past artists during Warhol era.
Mar 10, 2024a_fr1981
Good one!
Interesting museum of modern art. Small, but good collection. 3 floors. Go there after 19:00, you’ll get the most experience when you alone in the museum.

Modern, eclectic and beautiful
The exposition is very modern, immersive, and original. The works and artists on display are very eclectic. Many modern artists, who the young public will know, are exhibited

Best museum I ever been to

Recommend to go!
It is mandatory to ask people to be quite then the visitors can focus and enjoy watching the arts and galleries.

Enjoyable Modern Art Museum
This is an excellent modern art museum with a varied collection. It’s housed in a an older building, which creates a fun and interesting contrast to the modern art (the building was unexpected, as in our experience most modern art museums are modern buildings, themselves). Would highly recommend. It’s a smaller museum, so don’t expect to be spending multiple hours here. But even so, it exceeded our expectations and made for an enjoyable visit.

Great visit!
Loved this museum and it’s interesting exhibits. Enough variety for the entire family! Went first thing in the am and enjoyed that it wasn’t very full.

So good
Amazig selection of pieces and organized exposition I highly recommended not to go too high if you want to enjoy the experience! Thanx

Modern art gem
A fantastic museum, well worth a visit. Full of contemporary artwork, beautifully collated and displayed. The building itself is lovely and leads you through the different works of art seamlessly. I haven’t been anywhere like it, it was all very intimate in its display. Staff were friendly and helpful too.

Great, intimate museum
I really enjoyed this museum. It was easier to reserve a ticket here, compared to other museums in Amsterdam, but that’s not the only reason to visit it. When I was there, I saw a wonderful Banksy exhibit, and many other great artworks. I also appreciated the digital art exhibit as well as the outdoor sculptures. Highly recommended!

Can get busy at times but a beautiful museum and worth it
We visited this museum and loved it. We really enjoyed looking at all the pieces of art. It's 1 euro to leave your bag or coat before entering or you can wear them but bags must be worn on the front

In art we trust
The visit of the museum was really intense. Banksy, Hirst, Kusama…contemporary art as long as the eye can see. Awesome collection. Crowdy!
Nov 27, 2023boomflint
Exquisite!
A fabulous little spot. Highly recommend as part of Amsterdam’s many museum offerings. Banksy exhibit a bonus for us!!

Worth it
It's a small museum but totally worth it A bit of all the main mainstream artists. Different, funny. I'll definitely visit the Barcelona MOCO asap

colorful and interesting
Nice modern art museum, very colorful and interesting. Some exhibits are better than the others but overall worth the time.

Great experience!
Awesome museum! I had a great time going there. Honestly worth the visit especially on a rainy day. Perfect day for that!

Rare, Like Rocking Horse Sh#te
Art is in the eye of the beholder, from the reviews I get it that some may not like it, but we’ve visited a lot of galleries- seen the headline acts and this wee museum did not disappoint. Yes some exhibits I don’t understand, NFT’s, but others I can certainly appreciate, I try to keep an open mind on art and try - as Public Enemy say “Don’t Believe The Hype”. I can appreciate the artist’s message, their thought and the presentation within this gallery. There were some highlights, I was pleased to see, and found the descriptions provided by the gallery entirely adequate. My “Higher Art” (one for the Scots readers’) teachers would be proud, I’m sure. If you’re looking for still life paintings, or fine portraiture this ain’t for you, but there were plenty happy faces around, plenty people taking their time to take in the art to say good on you Moco… AND, oh and there’s a huge rocking horse to climb up on and get a photo taken!

Quirky Digital Art Gallery
Interesting quirky gallery with audio download onto your phone should you want to know more about the exhibits. Something there for everyone. Definitely worth visit. Allow about 1-hour.

Great experience
Fabulous experience today at the Moco Museum - the pieces and the building itself were amazing. Totally worth it visiting while in Amsterdam.

So interesting!! A cosy and thoughtful museum. Gives a new option of reality. I recommend it, for everyone visiting Amsterdam.

Fantastic displays and varied artists.
Visited this fantastic museum as my travel friend wanted to see the Banksy exhibits. Was great to see the originals of his work but also the work of the other artists including Damian Hurst and Tracy Emann. The artwork was displayed in a way that meant you could stand and look, and by doing so you could often see how complex they were and how they have a meaning in the modern world. Pre-booking is highly recommended as we could not get in on a previous occasion as was fully booked. It also allows the number of visitors to be controlled so it is never too busy. Allow a couple of hours, relax and enjoy.

Vibrant and colourful exhibits
Did not plan to visit but came out of Rijksmuseum and saw there was no queue as walked past & it was included on our I Amsterdam card. Worth the stop, interesting, colourful and totally more so than I’d expected. If you have the city card then worth stopping off at.

A Pleasant Time to Indulge in Digital Art
Nice, interesting museum focused on nowadays visual trends, street art, graffiti and digital displays. Conveniently placed in the museum area in Amsterdam, with informative website and easy to buy tickets.

Lovely Museum
I'm more into older art but I really loved my visit. I got many new impressions. Go, it is totally worth the time and money.

Pour les amateurs d’art moderne
Musée très intéressant à faire pour ceux qui aiment l’art moderne voir le street art. A la fin de la visite on peut faire des photos très sympas.

Fin mix!
Härlig mix av nutidskonst! Underhållande med politisk udd, samhällskritisk och tankeväckande! Huset i sig värt att uppleva!

Aktuelle Kunst
Spontane Entscheidung das Museum zu Besuchen. Hatte keine grossen Erwartungen. Gibt einige Bilder und Kunstwerke zu aktuellen Künstlerinnen und Künstler.

Entre classique et artiste d'aujourd'hui
Magnifique petit musée, entre œuvre classique et artiste d'aujourd'hui, mais toujours avec une bonne dose d'originalité.
Mar 16, 2024mennow364
Eerst keer moco met mijn dochter.
Leuke collectie, een beetje klein, maar zeer vriendelijk en goed personeel en zeker een leuke ervaring. Het doet eigenlijk meer aan als een galerie met zaaltjes. Waardoor de ervaring huiselijker is dan in een groot museum. Binnen het museumkwartier is deze zeker niet over te slaan. Kort bezoek maar zeker indrukwekkend.

Assolutamente da vedere
Questo museo ci è piaciuto tantissimo, anche il mio ragazzo cui non interessano più di tanto queste cose. Ci sono opere moderne e conosciute e in più sono spiegate con un audio guida a cui puoi accedere tranquillamente dal tuo telefono e quindi della tua lingua. Alcune stanze sono anche interattive. Consigliato al 100%

A faire
Au début je n'étais pas vraiment emballée, et en fait très surprise avec une diversité des oeuvres à faire ! c'est super
Jan 22, 2024ingridvanzijl
Afwisselende, leuke tentoonstelling.
Verrassend, afwisselende tentoonstelling. Entree wel aan de hoge kant en het was erg druk binnen. Mooi pand op leuke locatie.
Jan 21, 2024claudiasM4816CE
Sehenswert
Das Museum ist sehr abwechslungsreich mit verschiedenen Künstlern. Von Banksy werden mehrere Werke gezeigt. Von den anderen Künstlern (z.B. Andy Warhol, Keith Haring) jeweils 1-4 Werke. Ich fand den Audio-Guide sehr hilfreich. Auch die Mischung zwischen Grafitti, Videoinstallatinen, Malerei, Fotografie, etc. fand ich sehr gelungen. Im Garten gibt es auch noch Kunst zu sehen. Unser Sohn (12 Jahre) fand es sogar auch gut 😉
Jan 13, 2024DaCoony
Aangenaam verrast!
Mooie collectie van Banksy. Mooie collectie van hedendaagse artiesten.Ook de lopende tentoonstelling was zeker de moeite waard. Zeer vriendelijke staff.
Jan 11, 2024giadat975
Love it !
Ondanks het de tweede keer was dat wij hier kwamen waren we beide toch weer aangenaam verrast van dit museum. Alle artiesten die je hier kan zien stellen ook nooit teleur. Banksy, Warhol, Basquiat… etc super!! De installaties onder in het museum zijn ook leuk voor de niet-kunstliefhebbers onder ons.

Piacevole
Molto carino se amante la pop art ! Non è molto grande purtroppo ma comunque a noi è piaciuto, avrei preferito un po’ più di spiegazioni
Jan 5, 2024sofievanpol
Mooie kunst
Mooie kunstwerken, goed onthaald maar het was veeeeeeel te druk! We hadden op voorhand een tijdslot moeten aanduiden maar desondanks was er teveel volk binnen waardoor het bijna claustrofobisch aanvoelde.
