Moco Museum
Workers are still adding new Banksy pieces inside this gorgeous 1904 villa! Eduard Cuypers designed this townhouse - his famous uncle Pierre built the Rijksmuseum you see behind us! Look at those fancy windows and intricate stone details on the front! Inside, five floors hold the world's largest Banksy collection - 50 unauthorized pieces! This was a family home for 35 years, then priests lived here, and now it's Amsterdam's rebellious art hideout!
