Uitmuntend. Ik en mijn partner hebben genoten van het bezoek aan het Moco Museum. Voornamelijk door de ambiance, het vriendelijke personeel en de relaxte sfeer in het museum. Een heel leuk uitstapje voor in het weekeind, zorg wel dat je voor twaalf uur s'middags binnen bent in het weekeind vanwege de drukte.
Small new museum but very cute. Loads of original Banksy pieces on almost two floors and also Roy Lichtenstein on one and a half. The re-creation of his Arles/Van Gogh sleeping room has never been done before in The Netherlands as far as I know.

New, interesting and modern. The moco museum is a young museum with a unique concept. It combines modern and contemporary art with music and a lovely 3D installation room. It's worth it.

Small, bad structured, not clear. A few paintings of Warhol and Banksy that we all know, what to say more: it's a tourist trap. With the Stedelijk Museum at 50 meters from Moco and same entrance fee, I certainly recommend to not waste your time in this museum.
