Read on to find out how we liked it at the Moco Museum and what exhibitions are currently running there.

Current Exhibitions - Banksy and teamLab

Banksy was once a vandal in the streets of London, but today he is a respected artist. He is regarded as the most influential street artist of our time and has managed to keep his identity secret to this day.

The Moco exhibits around 50 of Banksy's most important works. It is not known whether the artist himself enjoys this. Banksy is known for his critical attitude towards the art market and the exhibition at the Moco has not been authorized by him. All paintings are from private collectors and have been loaned to the Moco Museum.

Girl with Balloon and Pulp Fiction - The top works at an exhibition

To sum up: The Banksy exhibition at the Moco is varied and beautifully designed. There is probably no better place at the moment to admire the art of the Englishman.

Current exhibition of TeamLab Tokyo

Digital art at its best. TeamLab's immersive installations attract millions of art fans to museums worldwide. Laser beams, colorful light and electronic sounds - the usual distance between art and viewer disappears.

TeamLab is an international art collective originating in Tokyo, founded in 2001. It is a group of specialists working in different disciplines.

Most visited museum in the world - TeamLab overtakes Van Gogh

The Teamlab Museum in Tokyo is the most successful monothematic museum in the world. With up to 2.3 million visitors, it even beats the Van Gogh Museum.

Artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, architects and many more. Through a collaborative process, teamLab aims to explore the intersection of art, science, technology and the natural world.

To come back to the red gummi bear mentioned at the beginning: You should definitely check out the adventure garden. There you'll find exciting sculptures by Dali, Kaws and designer Marcel Wanders. The exhibition there is constantly changing.

Summary - Is the Moco Museum Worth a Visit?

Summing it up: The entrance fee is quite fair, and the Moco Museum is definitely worth a visit - not only for art fans. We particularly liked it because:

• The wonderful atmosphere in the old town villa
• The super friendly staff
• Top works of the current top artists
• The great outdoor area with many wonderful sculptures
