Moco Museum Barcelona on Postcard

"A hot-pink logo. A giant sculpture of a Smurf posing like Frankenstein’s monster in the courtyard. And a mirrored room where hundreds of dangling diamonds change color as you walk inside. Have you got all of that? Barcelona's Moco Museum is a riot–of colors, of styles, of pushing artistic boundaries. Mainly, of joy. It may be next door to the Picasso Museum, but you’re about as far away from Picasso’s melancholic blue period as you can get. Here’s the thing: you cannot be bored here. The majority crowd is young, cool and scene-y: wearing outfits intentionally curated for the visit, with bodies contorted into angles to snap the best social-media content. After all, aesthetic impact is kind of the point of this place. Don’t be fooled though; museumgoers are very much here for the art. Discussions with animated hand gestures try to unpick what’s on the walls, while many works provoke a long-linger. Even if you hit 10,000 steps by lunchtime, Moco’s fluorescent, lively, reaction-provoking collection is a guaranteed perk-you-up. Yes, even if you’ve been known to yawn at the word “museum”. One last hack: tickets for time slots before 11am and after 6pm are cheaper." - Gemma Askham

For not being a contemporary art lover, I must admit: this museum is just amazing. The quality of the collection is visually stunning, conceptually very interesting and at many points quite smart and funny as well. A bit crowed and some narrow places but very enjoyable anyway. Strongly recommended

Good experience! We visited there on 24th dec and thankfully the museum is open as well as the museum shop inside. I purchased the ticket before and everything went so smooth. The art inside is good. I feel like it’s time of the day that I need to relax my body and my mind.

Purchased tickets online beforehand. Waited in a short line to enter. Small gallery downstairs. Limited Warhol and Dali, arguably less notable works. Confusing route upstairs through the gift shop. Overpriced as usual. More impressive installations upstairs. Interesting layout. Interactive experiences. Quick and short exhibition overall. I was a bit disappointed by what was included, especially since big names are mentioned. I would recommend visiting another museum instead.

Make sure to make the full journey through the museum! We went back in several times, after discovering that we had overlooked that there was still 'more' to see from the spaces we thought to be the last ones! 🙂 Went with an elderly lady and a teenager and we all loved it, especially studio Irma. Got the Pink Moco membership online the day before, and could enter without any waiting time, getting discounts for the 2 guests and in the shop. I wasn't busy. Recommend it!

Definitely recommend visiting this museum! Quite an experience I had. Full of modern pop art pieces. I felt quite amazed by the works here. The NFTs and Diamond matrix look so fun! You have a visit this place. Tips: buy tickets online on their site and visit in the early (10-11AM) or late hours to get ticket discount!

Twas a cool museum! I enjoyed seeing art from many of the well known modern artists, but would’ve loved for it to be bigger and have more exhibits. The shop is also full of cool gifts and if you keep your ticket you can get a €5 discount. Definitely got some stickers, socks, and a book.

I really liked this museum because I had the opportunity to discover KAWS, see Kusama's painting and even Jeff Koons' sculpture. It was really interesting.
