'Heart Boy' - an important street piece by Street Art legend Banksy at the Banksy Exhibition, Modern Contemporary (Moco) Museum in Amsterdam.


In 2016, Moco Museum Amsterdam permanently added 'Heart Boy' - an important street piece by Street Art legend Banksy - to their collection. The piece, weighing over 2000 kg was installed in the garden in front of the museum. Never before has a street piece of the activist artist been placed in Amsterdam. The detached mural, measuring over 7 feet tall (2 meters) was originally created by Banksy in 2009 on the side of a building located at 27-30 Goswell Road in Islington, London, near Kings Cross Station. The mural shows a life-size young boy wielding a wet paintbrush, having just painted a large graffiti pink heart on a brick demolition of the building in 2009 initiated the removal and conservation of the mural, which has remained in the owner's possession until then.
