Moco Museum Barcelona

In Palau Cervelló, a restored palace on Carrer de Montcada in El Born, a few doors from the Picasso Museum, Moco is Barcelona's museum for street art and the artists around it. Short for Modern Contemporary, it is the sister of Moco Amsterdam and shows street and pop art next to digital and immersive work.

Banksy is the main draw. The Banksy rooms show original works authenticated by Pest Control, the artist's own authentication body, and a new group of works was added in December 2025. Satire and restraint run through them: authority that looks fragile, beauty interrupted, innocence up against violence.

Around Banksy, the Modern Masters rooms hold Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, who carried street and pop language into the art world. Yayoi Kusama, Damien Hirst and Salvador Dalí also hang here, and the digital and immersive rooms complete the visit.

A visit takes about an hour. Bring headphones for the free audio tour. Getting there: metro L4 to Jaume I, then a five-minute walk.
