The Moco is the Museum Square's young, playful face: an elegant small villa (1904) turned private museum of modern, contemporary and street art — Banksy first and most, alongside Warhol, Basquiat, Keith Haring and Yayoi Kusama with her famous infinity mirror rooms that draw the Instagram generation. It is the modern counterpoint to its classical neighbours: smaller, faster, more interactive and colourful, with immersive visual works that please the young and families more than traditional painting halls. Its private Banksy collection is among the largest shown of the elusive artist anywhere. A fun hour completing the serious trio on the same square — and online booking spares a queue that lengthens in the evening.

For the classical-art lover: the Rijks and Van Gogh are far deeper at the same price. Treat it as an art-entertainment experience, not a traditional museum.
