Located in a historic villa on the edge of Museumplein, the Moco Museum Amsterdam is one of the city’s most popular destinations for modern, contemporary, and street art.

A Masterpiece by a Legendary Family
Did you know that the Moco Museum is housed in Villa Alsberg, a stunning townhouse dating back to 1904? It was designed by Eduard Cuypers, the nephew of the legendary Pierre Cuypers—the architect behind the Rijksmuseum and Amsterdam Central Station. This makes the Moco villa the "rebellious little nephew" of the grand Rijksmuseum right next door, blending historic elegance with the bold, modern art found inside today.
