Moco Museum + Amsterdam Light Festival Cruise

Brilliant experience. Banksy was worth it and everything else just added to the pleasure. Well organised with a good flow to the exhibitions and the helpful friendly staff made the visit more comfortable

FANTASTIC! Great art and great staff. Loved the entire gallery! This was our favorite thing to do this trip to Amsterdam Thank you!

We booked the early access. Highly recommend the early access, it’s more intimate, less people and if you’re lucky like us we were the only people that booked early access and had the whole museum to ourselves. The audio was very useful, give more information and detail behind the art work as well as the artist.

The Moco Museum Amsterdam is an independent art museum devoted to modern and contemporary art. Located on Museum Square, it contains works by many notable modern artists, including Banksy, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, and Keith Haring. It also regularly hosts temporary exhibitions and some of the artists that these have focused on in the past include Roy Lichtenstein and Yayoi Kusama. Standard tickets for this attraction start from €17.95 and go up to as high as €22.95 with entry to the Pink Room for 10 minutes costing an extra €7,50 per person. I think even if you're a modern art fan, it's difficult to justify the high cost of entry, so I wouldn't rate Moco highly in terms of affordability. If you've got the I amsterdam card, however, you can enter for free, which is what I did as I was very curious to explore the museum, but I don't really like modern art enough to pay the full fee.

I usually cringe when I read “must see”; however, this really is a great art visit with an approachable venue and just large enough (or small enough) that you can enjoy it without getting elbowed or burned out on yet one more museum. I LOVE Banksy! Pay attention to this artist. His wit and talent give his art a political edge that is enjoyable and thought provoking at the very best! Gotta GO! You won’t regret it! Since a prior visit several years ago, the selection of artists has expanded enhancing the total experience! It really is a super experience. ONE caution: There is NO elevator and accessibility is sadly non-existent. (Or if there was one, it was not evident). It is a significant barrier unfortunately.

The Moco Museum is an independent museum with locations in Amsterdam, Barcelona, and London, dedicated to exhibiting modern and contemporary art. Founded with the mission of attracting broader and younger audiences the collection leans heavy on Banksy, Basquiat and Haring with additional space for interactive pieces and digital art. Small considering the 24 Euro ticket price, but they do a lot with the space they have.

Particularly fascinated by Banksy. But also most of the others, for instance Icy & Sot’s Let her be free. Very pleasant and intimate localities. Not too many works in one room, so one did ‘t get too overwhelmed.

An unexpected gem! Bansky and Warhol.Bold and Interesting. Outstanding - as always! Loved the Robbie Williams Room...Thank you and the little heart sweets - what a wonderful personal touch! Always a treat as its always interesting and changing. Urban Art Heaven!

Great museum especially for older teenagers who never want to go to art galleries. Fun and relevant artists within a beautiful venue.

I was most impressed by the work of Banksy provided by a private collector. Also, the other works gave Moco a fresh and exciting vibe.

The art was so Amazing and left a really good Impression on all of us. We enjoyed our stay so much and can recommend the museum to everyone

This was the best art gallery I went to while in Holland. There was a surprise around every corner. The staff were so nice, I would definitely go back.

Great exhibition. They let way too many people in on the time slot, it should be fewer, because it became a bit chaotic. Would recommend though.

Fantastic- I have grown to appreciate this museum and what it has to offer with time. Very happy i made the time to go back and enjoy

Excellent exhibition space and wonderful exhibits. The building is beautiful and staff friendly though not sure how accessible it is.

If you are interested with modern art, it is one of the most important museum you can visit. It's permanent collection is good and it's temporary art is satisfying. Also the building itself is wonderful.

I have to admit I was a bit dubious about this given the advertising and the schtick on the website. I was pleasantly surprised though because there is a lot packed into a small space, and there was some surprises and some great art. Robbie Williams - who'd have thunk it - was worth seeing; there was a lot of great art that came from street art and graffiti (not just Banksy); and some great Japanese artists too. The only issue was that the art was packed, and even though we were there in the morning, it was also packed, so that sometimes you had to wait about to get a chance to experience things properly. But overall I was very happy to see a lot of this work.

The art and visual installations were great. Highly recommend to those interested in today’s art expression. Immersive experiences

The Moco Museum in Amsterdam offers a vibrant collection of modern and street art, featuring artists like Banksy and Warhol. Its intimate setting makes it a must-visit for art lovers seeking a fresh, unique experience.

The experience was enjoyable, and I found it to be a worthwhile endeavor. However, I believe there is potential for further enhancements and additions to improve the overall experience

The staff was very warm to us. Williams's art pieces were very moving and refreshing. The Six N. Five made me cry and was even more moving. The rooms were very nice. Goodly selected art pieces. The Digital Immersive Art was the crazyest, so mesmerizing and fun! Really lost myself into it. The garden was amazing, loved the cool music and opportunity to sit at cool chairs. Lovely birds!

The variety of artists was really appealing to us, and we particularly like the nfts and the mirror/light rooms. But because of how packed and busy it was, the visit was a little stressful.

Excellent museum, one of the most beautiful I have seen, with the help of Crystelle my experience became even better! You will love it!

Moco museum is fantastic, the ambiance is super nice and the art is accessible and interesting for all ages, their exhibition of different artists is unique. I love to come here and also in Moco Barcelona.🩷

Nice exhibition. Robbie Williams was inspiring and funny on a serious topic of mental health. I like the breadth of exhibits.

Glad to see Robbie Williams expo still there! Also great work of Haring, Warhol, Banksy and many others. Lovely vibe in the museum as its set in an old house/villa, so lot of different little corners to turn to and different rooms to explore. Also on every floor bathrooms, didnt use them, but there are enough of them. Great outdoors to check out some more art and chill in the yard. Great location overall at Museumplein.

Absolutely loved this. Mainly because of the Robbie Williams exhibit. Really insightful. And great Banksy art on display too as well as other artists.

Nice building, precious pieces of art, inspirational moments, If you are in Amsterdam take 1 hour to visit MOCO, you will save lovely memories

Great museum, very interesting! They were also accommodating for my disabled partner as well; they have little seats you can carry around with you for when you need to take a break. While they can’t be fully accessible (explained on their website), they’ve done what they can to help which is always appreciated. We weren’t rushed at any point, and didn’t realise Robbie Williams would have art work in there! Would recommend!

Nice museum, mainly came for the Robbie Williams exhibition. Nice exhibition, friendly staff. Tip: You are a museum in the Netherlands, an audio tour in Dutch (spoken language) would be very nice and actually normal.

A very interesting museum that is worth its hype. I am not a big fan of modern art but I found myself captivated. The separation between the different artist by one artist a room is very interesting. As well as the location itself is very beautiful! I would totally recommend it

Beautiful museum but without facilitations for people with disability, no lift to go up and with crutches it was a bit difficult. The museum it deserves to be visited. Cheers.

We visited this museum as it was included on our iAmsterdam cards. The exhibits that we saw were very interesting however we did have to leave part way though our visit due to a medical emergency. The staff in the gift shop were very helpful in directing us to the nearest local hospital so we are very grateful for that. We will definitely be back to see the rest of the museum when we are next in Amsterdam!

I loved this museum …it was bright modern and thought provoking…buy your ticket before as it’s cheaper …it’s not a large museum but interesting Amsterdam is a very interesting city but be aware that the City Tax is the most expensive in Europe …we paid €138 for a four night stay which we thought was excessive

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

What a great museum, with Warhol Banksy, etc. With now an exhibition by Robbie Williams, great! So striking how he expresses his life in art. Recommended! Moreover, a beautiful building!

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

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.

A very enjoyable visit if a little over crowded Robbie Williams exhibition was great Also enjoyed Banksy and some of contemporary displays

Loved the amazing art! It's a beautiful collection of different modern artist. Humorous and serious, displayed in an amazing building

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 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

The tour is great.. but this year, the light festival was quite disappointing compared to years ago

It was good

Booked tickets for the Amsterdam Light Festival and overall first-ever canal cruise in Amsterdam. It was a very nice experience, captain was really cool and thankfully despite the cold weather, the boat was really warm inside. Also, we had the ability to re-book our tickets very easily through their site just a few hours before our original booking in order to make it on time. The only unfortunate thing was a “heavy traffic” in the canals, which ended up with our cruise taking almost 2 hours-long, but we knew it was not something in agency’s hands. Would recommend it anyway!

My family and I recently went on a canal cruise with Lovers Canal Cruises to experience the Amsterdam Light Festival, and it was an absolute blast! The atmosphere was so chill, and we could see Amsterdam in a new light - from the water and in the darkness. The light artworks were amazing and made me think about the impact of technologies and AI on our everyday lives. My son, usually glued to his phone, was even more engaged than usual. The Amsterdam Light Festival canal cruise is definitely something I would recommend to anyone who wants to see Amsterdam in a whole new way.

A must if you are in Amsterdam. They simply are the best canal cruise operator in the capital. The staff are always very professional, efficient and super helpful and friendly. There are various cruises you can join. Today I took the cruise as part of the Amsterdam Light Festival. It was incredible! 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️

The cruise itself was really nice, it teaches you history, our boat captin was funny and you get insights to Amsterdam's past and present. We went for the Amsterdam light festival... that was very underwhelming (to no fault of the cruise itself) just when you think of a light festival you expect to see more than a few small art fixtures... the streets of Amsterdam had more/better lights than that. I'd def go on lovers again... maybe they have a lunch on the water option or something

Night canal cruise was ran very well, loved the commentary, would have liked more background to what we saw along the way. Light festival was average. Hard to see for those not sitting near window, thus more commentary would have made up for this.

Very interesting and informative, Amsterdam by night is very different from Amsterdam by day. The guide was informative. We went on Christmas night and it was warm on the boat

The cruise was cozy and informative. Got to see the light festival as well.

Excellente balade sur les canaux d’Amsterdam, le capitaine Bouddha est intarissable sur sa ville, belle ambiance avec les lumières spéciales en ce mois de décembre

Wij met drie vrienden. Hadden via internet Amsterdam Light Festival kaartjes gekocht. Hadden we overlijden in de fam. konden we de kaarten omzetten... Dus hele menselijk bedrijf..... Rond vaart was druk maar wel erg leuk en mooi. Ga zitten en genieten. 👍 Neem de tijd. Wij gingen nu 14 dec.ik ben al een ander jaar geweest toen eerder in het jaar dan is het iets beter te doen (minder druk ) Vaar je iets sneller door. Maar zeker aanraden.

Croisière sympathique qui dure environ 1h pour découvrir le festival des lumières et l’architecture d’Amsterdam. Malheureusement, vu un peu gâché par les gouttes sur les vitres. Il faudrait prévoir un moyen pour nettoyer les vitres après la pluie.

Wenn sie im Dezember in Amsterdam sein sollten, so müssen sie unbedingt eine Fahrt mit der Thematik Licht Festival machen. Unbedingt.
