Book tickets

Each Modern Master in this exhibition represents a distinct artistic voice, shaped by their moment in time and still resonating within today’s cultural landscape:

Andy Warhol in London

Andy Warhol’s work examines mass culture, repetition, and celebrity, revealing how images shape desire and identity in modern society. His art laid the foundation for how we consume visual culture today, making his presence in a London modern art museum especially resonant in a city defined by media, fashion, and global influence.

Jean-Michel Basquiat in London

Basquiat’s work speaks with urgency through raw symbols, text, and gesture. His visual language remains both historically grounded and sharply contemporary, positioning his art as a powerful voice that continues to confront systems, identity, and power within cultural conversations.

Keith Haring in London

Keith Haring transformed public space into a universal visual language. His journey from street to gallery made art accessible, rhythmic, and human, connecting his bold symbols to shared experiences of movement, energy, and collective expression.

Yayoi Kusama in London

Yayoi Kusama’s work invites viewers into infinity, repetition, and self-reflection. Her practice is experiential rather than decorative, aligning immersion with presence and perception, and contemporary art experience. Expanding how audiences encounter contemporary art in London.

Why See the Modern Masters in London at Moco Museum

The Modern Masters exhibition is permanent, offering visitors the rare opportunity to encounter multiple iconic artists within one coherent journey. Presented in London, a global crossroads for modern art, the exhibition reflects how artistic ideas travel, evolve, and remain culturally relevant across generations.

From Kusama’s cosmos to Hirst’s butterflies and Koons’ monumental inflatables, our collective realm of imagination is greatly expanded with these visionary masters.

    Fantastic modern art museum. Lots of pop art and great exhibits and installations from some well known artists. Lots of bold colours, a feast for the eyes. Great ticket price too. Not too crowded, always an important factor when visiting galleries / art museums. Best museum I’ve been to in a while.

    I loved it. Exciting, memorable, inspiring. Now we came across it again in London. ❤️ There are artists whose work I would’ve never discovered otherwise — like Robbie Williams’ creations beyond music… amazing! Love it. I truly hope more and more big cities will have something like this. The world becomes a better place with spaces like these 🤞 I wholeheartedly recommend it! For thinkers. For wanderers. For parents with kids, or just a visit with a friend. Enjoy the ride — and pass it on.
