The Moco Museum (Modern Contemporary Museum) is an independent museum located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Barcelona, Spain, dedicated to exhibiting modern and contemporary art. The museum was founded with the mission of attracting broader and younger audiences, and making art accessible to the public.[1]
Moco Museum in Amsterdam is situated on Museumplein, in the historic Villa Alsberg, a townhouse designed in 1904 by Eduard Cuypers the nephew of Pierre Cuypers, designer of Amsterdam Central Station and the Rijksmuseum. The townhouse was one of the first privately owned residencies on Museumplein and remained so until 1939.[2] Moco Museum opened its doors in April 2016.[3]
Moco Museum in El Born, Barcelona is in the historic Palau Cervelló-Giudice, formerly the private residence of the noble Cervelló family until the 18th century. The building incorporates parts of a previous construction from the 15th century, evidenced by the interior courtyard, arched staircase with columns, capitals, and Renaissance-type mouldings.[4] Furthermore, Palau Cervelló displays an impressive Gothic facade entryway.[5]
Plans to open a new outlet in London, UK were approved on 3 October 2023.[6]
