Moco Museum Barcelona
Located at c / Montcada 25 in Barcelona. Moco Museum takes over the space of Palacio Cervelló, formerly the private residence of the noble Cervelló family until the 18th Century. From the Middle Ages to the 20th Century, aristocrats, merchants, and royals have held onto this historical site. With the utmost respect for the existing building, Studio Pulsen (www.pulsen.es) recovered the original essence of Palacio Cervelló - adapting to the needs of Moco Museum to create a great modern and contemporary space.
This space takeover reflects Moco's first initiative, when it took over the space of Villa Alsberg (b. 1904) in Amsterdam - a building historically reserved for the privileged elite. Once again, Moco Museum changes the energy of an exclusive space to welcome all. However, Amsterdam has become too small to manifest all of our wildest dreams, and our exhibition space is limited. There is so much more art we want to share and so many more stories to tell.
"We represent the voice of the street and we trust in art as the amazing vehicle to help get us there." - Kim & Lionel Logchies, founders of Moco Museum
