Museum of Old and New Art (MONA)

You are here Home  > Tasmania  > Hobart >  Museum of Old and New Art (MONA)

The brilliant Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) in Berriedale, north of central Hobart, is Australia’s largest privately funded museum and is considered by many to be Hobart’s top tourist attraction.

MONA’s permanent collection includes more than 400 artworks that are complemented by a programme of temporary exhibits. The museum’s modern artworks include many confronting and unique pieces, which make the museum more fun than most other art museums.

Although local buses stop nearby, the nicest way to travel to MONA is to take the 30-minute ferry trip from Brooke Street pier ($20–50 return). There is also an express bus ($20 return) to the museum.

    This is probably the most interesting museum I have seen. If you like the weird and crazy art come here. This is the wall of weird.

    Not as good as the last time I visited. There seems to be a bigger emphasis on sex, beastiality and torture. The Ladies Lounge was tantamount to pointless. Faro was exceptional though.

    Lots of Instagram-friendly pieces. Some sections are quite sexual, macabre and generally frightening - maybe not suitable for children?

    Interesting and quirky museum. You can spend at least 2 hours here. The ferry ride was fun as well. A must-go.

    Confusing layout, difficult to navigate, even with a map.

    As much as I find modern "art" controversial, this is one of the best places I've visited. A treat for the senses and a must see in Tassie!

    Amazing place. I could not recommend this place enough. Ferry ride in is part of the experience but plenty of parking available if needed. Changing all the time. Nudity and other adult themes.

    Amazing museum with not your ordinary art pieces. Take the MONA ROMA ferry from Brooke Street Pier to the gallery for a lovely day out on the water.
