Inside Moco Museum’s Art Playground
From cheeky Banksy to round-circle Mickeys and LOL-worthy art, Moco Museum was like an artsy jungle gym for my brain.
I visited the Moco Museum in Amsterdam’s Museumplein! It’s packed with works by iconic contemporary artists—one surprise after another.
On the first floor, there was a whole exhibition dedicated to Banksy. I think it was my first time seeing so many of his pieces all in one place! His razor-sharp messages really pierced my heart.
It also reminded me of the time my husband and I once bought a Banksy print (real or not, who knows?!) from a mysterious vendor in a New York subway station—it had that same curious energy.
The second floor had a wide range of works by famous contemporary artists from all over the world. Here are a few of my personal faves!
Robbie Williams’s work cracked me up. Every piece had that “LOL” energy I couldn’t resist.
And of course, seeing Keith Haring’s work never fails to bring me joy. One day, I hope to be the kind of artist who brings that same feeling!
And finally… I found a quote that spoke to me.
It was one of those moments where I thought, “Yes, this is exactly why I draw.”
