Moco Museum Barcelona
Calle de Montcada 25, Ciutat Vella, Barcelona, Catalonia, 08003
Although it’s housed in a 16th-century building, Moco Museum Barcelona offers cutting-edge modern art, from a multisensory modern digital art space to works by bold-face names. Guests can savor Salvador Dalí sculptures, bright Keith Haring cartoons, and an immersive polka-dot piece by Yayoi Kusama—plus works by pop art king Andy Warhol and graffiti prodigy Jean-Michel Basquiat.
The basics
Moco Museum Barcelona tickets include access to both the permanent collection and exhibitions. While you can buy tickets at the door, booking a timed slot online is the cheapest way to visit, so most travelers will want to book ahead—especially as there can be additional discounts during less popular times. Priority access tickets let you enjoy skip-the-line entry without reserving a timed slot, which can be helpful for spontaneous travelers. Students and people aged 7–17 enjoy discounted entry, while children aged 6 and under can enter for free.

Accessible and photogenic, Moco Museum Barcelona is a good choice for social media mavens, modern art buffs, and families.
Most travelers spend less than an hour exploring the museum.
Moco Museum Barcelona is wheelchair friendly with elevator access, but strollers must be stored in the cloakroom.

When to get there
Moco Museum Barcelona is usually open from 10am–8pm Monday through Thursday, and 10am–9pm Friday through Sunday. Booking your tickets for early in the morning Monday to Thursday generally ensures smaller crowds and lower prices.
On the modern art trail in Barcelona
Barcelona is an underrated destination for modern art fans. The Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA) is a vast art center, with works by Basquiat, Paul Klee, and more. The Picasso Museum, Joan Miró Museum, and Antoni Tàpies Foundation pay tribute to three all-time Catalan modern art greats. And then there’s Museo Banksy, devoted to the mysterious street art maverick.
