Big international names next to newer artists, in a historic palace in the middle of El Born.
Moco Museum Barcelona is a different way into modern and contemporary art. It sits in the Palau Cervelló, a historic building in the middle of El Born, and it puts big international names next to newer artists and work that deliberately breaks the traditional formats.
Inside you will find Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Banksy, KAWS and Takashi Murakami, alongside a lot of work exploring newer ways of making art.
The experience goes well beyond what hangs on the walls. The museum mixes pop art, street art, digital installations and immersive rooms, building spaces you can walk into, interact with and read on your own terms.
Moco also puts real weight on women artists and contemporary makers — Marina Abramović, Pilar Zeta, Miranda Makaroff, CJ Hendry and Studio Irma among them. And there are artists tied to Barcelona and the Spanish scene, like Yago Hortal and Samuel Salcedo, next to historic figures such as Salvador Dalí.
The mix of generations, styles and disciplines is part of the point. The exhibitions build connections between artists and ideas around identity, society, creativity and freedom of expression, and leave the reading to you.
You don't need to know anything about art to enjoy Moco. It is close-up, quick-moving and accessible: you go at your own pace and you connect with the work far less formally than in a traditional museum.
Entry includes a free audio guide in several languages, which fills in the stories, the ideas and the details behind some of the pieces.

We board Las Golondrinas, the traditional boats that have been sailing out of this port since 1888, and take the harbour from an angle you cannot get on foot: Port Vell and its working docks, the coastline and the skyline from the sea, Maremagnum, the Porta d’Europa bridge. Then into L’Aquàrium, where the Oceanari puts […]
