Things to know before you book your Banksy Museum tickets

Booking window: Grab your tickets online and at least 2-3 weeks in advance. Summer (June to August) and holiday slots are the busiest, often selling out weeks ahead, so booking early is the safest way to secure your preferred time.
Ticket types: Standard Banksy Museum tickets give you full access to all murals and interactive installations, making them ideal for anyone who wants to immerse themselves completely in Banksy’s world. Combo tickets take your experience even further by pairing the museum visit with a 1-hour canal cruise, complete with onboard commentary, so you can enjoy Amsterdam from a fresh new perspective.
Audio guides: Keep in mind that standard entry to the Banksy Museum does not include an audio guide. If you’d like one, you can rent it at the museum for a small additional fee. Combo tickets that include the canal cruise come with an audio guide, giving you stories and insights along the way.
Entrances and security: The Banksy Museum entrance is located on Museumplein, while combo tickets use both the museum entrance and the designated cruise piers. Keep in mind that every visitor goes through a quick security check, so factor that into your schedule.
Visit type: All Banksy Museum tickets are self-guided, giving you full freedom to move at your own pace.
Extra purchases: Headphones are not included with your ticket, but you can rent them for €1.50 if you don’t have your own. Bringing your own is always a convenient option.

Flower Thrower (“Love Is in the Air”)

When: c. 2003

Laugh Now

When: 2002
Location: Moco Museum Amsterdam

Besides political activism, Banksy is known for his humour and cheeky style, which really shines in this piece. A line-up of apes wearing aprons carries the message, “Laugh now, but one day we’ll be in charge.” The work playfully critiques power structures, human nature, and the question of who is truly in control.

Corrupted Oil – Jerry

When: 2003
Location: Banksy Museum-style exhibition

Banksy is famous for combining stenciled graffiti with social and political commentary delivered with humor and wit. In this work, he scribbles Jerry Mouse over a traditional oil painting, merging high art with pop culture. It challenges ideas of “classic” art and who decides what counts.

Heart Boy

When: c. 2009
Location: Moco Museum Garden

While Banksy’s activism is well known, he often uses children in his art to convey innocence, social issues, and political commentary. In this piece, a young boy paints a pink heart on a brick wall with complete focus. It’s a hopeful moment and a quiet act of rebellion, reminding viewers that love matters.

This is an unauthorized exhibition that showcases Banksy’s classic graffiti style and his well known social and political commentary. It includes many famous works displayed in a contemporary gallery setting alongside other modern art pieces.

You may take photos without flash, but tripods and selfie sticks are not permitted.
Please avoid touching any artworks or installations.
You can enjoy food and drinks only at the outdoor café. They are not allowed inside the galleries.

Keep your voice low to help maintain a pleasant environment for everyone.
Re-entry is not allowed and your ticket is valid for one entry during your chosen time slot.

Visitor tips

Arrive close to opening at 10 am or after 4 pm if you want a calmer visit. These times usually have fewer people and make it easier to explore installations without crowding.
Check the museum map as soon as you enter. The flow can feel slightly one way, so planning your route early will help you avoid unnecessary backtracking.
Popular immersive rooms fill up the fastest. Visit these first and then continue to the quieter corners of the museum for a more relaxed pace.
If you have booked a canal cruise and museum combo, avoid bringing heavy luggage. Large bags are not allowed on the cruise and storing them can be difficult.
Evenings on weekdays tend to be less crowded compared to weekends. A late afternoon visit is good if you want slower galleries and shorter wait times.
Take short pauses between rooms during peak season. Some corridors can feel tight and stepping aside helps you reset and enjoy the next section with more comfort.
