The Museum of Unintended Art (MOK) was founded in 2014 in the Staatsliedenbuurt in Amsterdam and has since become a place where the boundaries of art and appreciation are explored. MOK functions as a fully-fledged museum, complete with a collection, curators, and tours, but focuses on objects that traditional museums do not recognize as art. It is an art project that raises questions about value and meaning: Who decides what art is? What role does context play? And how can we expand our concept of art?

At the same time, MOK has a strong social component. By collaborating with local residents and making them an active part of the project, a dialogue emerges about art in everyday surroundings. This is not just a means to an end but an integral part of the artistic vision. Art is created through interaction, and that interaction reveals how value and meaning come to life.

MOK demonstrates that art does not belong solely within the walls of institutions but also in public space. This approach highlights both the power of art and its social relevance. As an art project and cultural organization, MOK explores how art can connect, challenge, and offer new perspectives—without losing sight of its artistic core.
