A complete guide to visiting Moco Museum London

Love pop art, street art or anything bold, modern and exciting? Then Moco London needs to be on your list. After attracting millions of visitors in Amsterdam and Barcelona, Moco opened its flagship UK museum just steps from Marble Arch. Inside, you’ll find pieces from some of the biggest names in modern and contemporary art – think Banksy, Warhol, Haring, Hirst, Basquiat and Kusama – alongside cutting‑edge digital creators and immersive installations that pull you right into the art.

I visited recently and trust me: Moco London packs a serious creative punch. It's definitely an art experience you won’t forget in a hurry.

Why should I visit Moco London?  

Moco London brings icons and innovators together under one (very pink) roof. With over 100 works of art from more than 35 visionary artists spread across three vibrant floors, it’s a place where big names and fresh talent collide. From Banksy to Basquiat, Kusama to Koons, the headline pieces alone make it worth the trip. 

Moco isn’t just about the classics. You’ll move effortlessly from instantly recognisable works to emerging voices and digital disruptors, all curated with a bold, pop‑culture energy that makes the whole space feel alive. It’s contemporary art, but way more fun.

Beyond the paintings and sculptures, Moco’s digital and immersive rooms steal the show – surrounding you with light, sound and movement. This isn’t your usual ‘look and read the label’ gallery. Here, you can literally step inside the art. It’s ideal for mixed‑interest groups, families or anyone who wants a cultural experience without it feeling too formal or intimidating. Newcomers love it. Art lovers love it. It’s a rare space that genuinely works for both. 

And with its handy Marble Arch location, it’s incredibly easy to add Moco to your London day out. 

How do I find Moco Museum in London? 

Nearest tube station: Marble Arch (Central line), just a 2-minute walk from the station (multiple buses also stop nearby). 

Moco London can be found in the heart of London, right next to Marble Arch. Hyde Park, Oxford Street and Mayfair are all just a short walk away – so whether you’re shopping, sightseeing, or just having a stroll through the park, the museum can fit seamlessly into your plans. 

What time should I get to Moco Museum London? 

Opening hours: Sunday – Thursday: 10AM – 5PM, Friday – Saturday: 10AM – 6PM* 

Your London Pass gives you flexible entry, so you can visit at any point during opening hours. The museum is generally quieter in the mornings, so if you're worried about the crowds, it’s worth arriving earlier in the day. 

Last admission is one hour before closing, so make sure you don’t cut it too fine. I’d suggest allowing around 90 minutes for your visit – enough time to explore comfortably without feeling rushed. 

*Please double-check the opening hours here in case they’ve changed since I visited!

How do I get into Moco Museum with my London Pass®? 

Just scan your London Pass on your phone at the entrance and you’ll be shown straight in. No pre-booking required! 

When you enter the building, you’ll go through a quick security check. There are also free lockers by the entrance where you can store coats and small bags. You can read more about the facilities on offer below. 

Your pass also includes an exclusive Moco Museum gift bag. Remember to scan your pass in the gift shop to claim it. I got a “No bad vibes!” postcard and a funky magnet in mine – a fun little bonus to end your visit. 

What’s included in the experience? 

Moco Museum London is spread across three floors, each with its own distinct vibe. You'll start on the ground floor in the Modern Masters section, home to bold, iconic pieces from world‑famous names like Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst.  

Upstairs is the Contemporary Masters level, where you’ll find work from artists like Banksy who are still shaping the art world today. This floor also hosts rotating special exhibitions and spotlights some lesser-known artists who are the rising stars of tomorrow.  

Finally, in the basement you’ll find the Digital and Immersive Art area (my favourite part of the museum). Head here for the most interactive and playful displays, as well as the best photo ops! 

The lineup of artwork and artists changes constantly, with exhibits often moving between the three Moco museums in London, Barcelona and Amsterdam. Here are some of the highlights that were on display when I visited: 

Ground floor: Modern Masters 

• Andy Warhol – the King of Pop Art is the first artist you’ll see as you step inside, with pieces that riff on celebrity, branding and iconography. Look out for his poster for the first ever Batman movie (which sadly never got made). 

• Jeff Koons, Smooth Egg with Bow – the most expensive piece currently in the museum, worth a whopping £8m. It’s impossible to walk past without stopping to stare. 

• Yayoi Kusama, Shanghai Pumpkin – pumpkins have been a lifelong fascination for Kusama, appearing throughout her work. She’s one of my favourite artists, so finding this piece here was a real treat. 

• Damian Hirst’s butterfly installation – Hirst is known for his provocative and controversial works, and this piece is no different. He uses real dead butterflies inside a giant pink heart, mixing beauty with his trademark themes of life and death. 

• Daniel Arsham’s Future Relic Porsche – this incredible sculpture of a life-size Porsche 911 looks like it’s been dug up centuries from now. It’s crusted with crystals and quartz, giving it a fossilised, almost otherworldly look. Whether there’s a real Porsche hiding inside is still a big subject of debate. 

• Jean-Michel Basquiat – Basquiat’s graffiti‑inspired pieces burst with bold colours. Make sure to look for the signature crowns in his artwork, a symbol he uses to pay tribute to outsiders, the uncelebrated and overlooked.  

• Keith Haring – you’ll see some of his original subway drawings here, pieces that he chalked illegally onto the walls of NYC stations, that incredibly still survive. Plus keep an eye out for Andy Mouse, a cheeky tribute to his friend Andy Warhol. 

First floor: Contemporary Masters 

• Tracy Emin – with her intensely personal and vulnerable style, Emin is one of the most important British artists working today. Here she throws taboo topics into bright neon, using the same kind of signs she remembers from childhood trips to Margate. 

• Banksy – all the Banksy pieces here are officially authenticated through Pest Control, Banksy’s own verification company. Their process is famously ruthless: anyone can submit a piece they believe is a real Banksy. If it’s genuine, you receive half of a custom-made “Princess Diana” £10 note (Pest Control keeps the other half). If it’s fake, they destroy the artwork. So it’s a serious gamble! 

• Takeshi Murakami – Murakami’s signature “Superflat” style mixes traditional Japanese art with the glossy, pop‑culture feel of manga and anime. His huge wall‑length piece on this floor is one of the most striking things in the whole museum – lively, colourful and impossible to miss. 

• Robbie Williams, Radical Honesty – this temporary exhibit showcases the art Robbie created during rehab as part of his art‑therapy journey. It’s surprisingly raw, personal and often very funny! His “Introvert Chair” is the only artwork in the entire building you’re allowed to touch – you can actually sit in it, which I absolutely did. 

Basement: Digital and Immersive Art 

• Anthony James, Infinity Portals – these were definitely my favourite part of the entire museum. Astronomical, hypnotic and utterly mesmerising, they feel like they stretch on forever, and pull you deeper the longer you look. You can spot one of the portals in the home of the billionaire in the movie The Glass Onion, and James has even installed one in Antarctica, making him the only artist in the world to have their work in every continent. Flex. 

• Krista Kim, Heart Space – this installation lets you add your heartbeat to a living digital artwork. It’s a surprisingly calming experience, and the results are beautiful. Kim focuses on gentle interaction and ethical AI (AI as a tool for elevating human consciousness rather than replacing it) – and it really pays off. 

• NFTs & new‑media displays – the basement also features rotating NFT and new‑media pieces that explore how digital art and ownership are evolving. The NFTs especially are worth pausing and watching for a while – you’ll get a constant stream of new content, ranging from the weird to the downright bizarre! 

The Pink Room (paid extra) 

• This is an immersive VIP experience for small groups, which gives you the chance to rest and reset in a calm, meditative environment. It’s exactly as pink as the name suggests and features digital art you can’t find anywhere else in the museum. Ryan Gosling and Robbie Williams have even visited!  

Best photo spots at Moco 

You can take photos throughout the museum, and there are some brilliant spots for grabbing the perfect shot. Here are my top recommendations for the best pics: 

• Pulse Interactive, Endless Realities – the immersive mirror room in the basement 

• Time magazine cover – also in the basement 

• Lunar garden – basement 

• Krista Kim’s Heart Space – basement 

• The Introvert Chair – in the Robbie Williams exhibition on the first floor 

• Tracy Emin’s neon light artworks – first floor 

There are also loads of artists’ quotes on the walls throughout the galleries, which make great backdrops for photos too. 

Insider tips to make the most of your visit 

• Bring your earphones. Moco offers a free audio tour that you can access on your phone by scanning the codes throughout the museum.  

• Go on weekdays or go early. For more space in the busiest galleries, arrive closer to opening time. The museum also tends to be busier on the weekends. 

• Travel light. There are free lockers, but they’re on the smaller side – so large backpacks or suitcases won’t fit. 

• Allow around 90 minutes. That should be enough time to fully explore all three floors without rushing. 

• Ask about add-ons. If you want to experience The Pink Room, ask at reception. It’s £10 per person, lasts 15 minutes and fits a maximum of eight people. 

• Don’t miss the gift shop. There’s loads of cool stuff in here – and don’t forget to scan your pass for your free goody bag! 

What facilities are there? 

• Lockers – you can use these to leave small bags and coats for free 

• Lifts – the museum is fully wheelchair accessible 

• Toilets – available on site 

• Gift shop – art‑led souvenirs, prints and Moco merch (show your London Pass here to claim your goody bag) 

Where should I go next? 

Located just off the end of Oxford Street, Moco is perfectly placed to slot into a day of sightseeing. Here are a few easy options for you to make the most of the area: 

• Take a breather in Hyde Park and enjoy a gentle walk along the Serpentine.  

• Enjoy some world-famous shopping on Oxford Street. 

• Visit Frameless, just a two‑minute walk around the corner if you’re in the mood for more art. 

• Go historical with Apsley House or Wellington Arch, both about a 20-minute walk across Hyde Park. 

So, is Moco worth visiting? 

Absolutely! Moco blends serious art with a sense of fun and flair. It’s visually stunning, often thought‑provoking, and always entertaining – easily the best hour or two of your day. 

It’s a brilliant spot for couples, families, first‑timers and seasoned gallery‑goers alike. And its Marble Arch location makes it incredibly easy to slot into any central London plan. You’d be mad to miss it.
