IN ART WE TRUST
Moco isn’t like any other museum. We started in Amsterdam, expanded to Barcelona, and after receiving +5 million visitors are now
shaking things up in London. Our goal? To make art, fun, bold, and for everyone. At Moco, we showcase work by icons like Basquiat,
Warhol, Kusama and street legends like Banksy, whose art challenges power and speaks to the people. We celebrate the voices that
are not always found in traditional museums, from the streets to the digital world and beyond. Our spaces are filled with
immersive art, powerful messages and a playful spirit. We believe in breaking the rules, thinking differently, and making art that
connects with real life. Our team is made up of curious, passionate people who love creativity, community, and doing things with
heart. You don’t need to be an art expert, just open-minded, energetic, and ready to be part of something exciting.
