Near to the Rijksmuseum, there’s a much smaller gallery called Moco.
They had, and still have I think, a substantial exhibition dedicated to the work of Banksy. I found it immensely enjoyable. I think this Mickey Mouse swallowing constrictor was my favourite, but it was a close run thing.
There was another exhibition – which sadly looked more interesting on their web page than it did in reality.
They also had artworks from their permanent collection which I think had been selected as being precursors of Banksy or in some way relevant to his work. I seem to remember works by Warhol, Koons, and Lichtenstein amongst others.
I was more impressed by these paintings by Keith Haring…
…and this…
…by Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Little S, meanwhile, not always a lover of art galleries, was very taken by this sculpture in the small garden outside…
