Moco Museum Amsterdam
About the Moco Store
The Moco Store Amsterdam is housed in Villa Alsberg, a townhouse overlooking Museumplein in the heart of Amsterdam. The building was designed in 1904 by Eduard Cuypers, nephew of the renowned Pierre Cuypers, designer of Amsterdam Central Station and the Rijksmuseum. This privately-owned residence was one of the first family homes built along Museumplein and retained this function until 1939. Subsequently, the house was let to priests who taught at the Saint Nicolas School in Amsterdam, and later it was converted into an office for a law firm.
The Moco Store is located at the very end of the Museum visit, saving the best for last, resulting in a very high traffic location. This traffic has to be managed while creating a great, lasting, and impactful moment with our visitors. As a Retail Sales Associate, you will be responsible for making sales as well as creating lasting memories. With a high diversity of products, ranging from pens to textiles, and high-end collectibles, the Moco Store is looking for reinforcement in the form of retail sales associates.
