Opened in 2016 by prominent local gallerists, Moco Museum continues to hog headlines, helped along by a magnificent setting in Villa Alsberg, a 1904 architectural beauty on Museumplein. With its heady mix of Pop Art and works by graffiti rock stars, Moco has enough contemporary swagger to make the neighboring Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum quake in their old-school boots.
