MONA (Museum of Old and New Art)
MONA, or Museum of Old and New Art is located on the Berriedale peninsula in Hobart. MONA is home to Australia’s largest private collection of antiquities and modern artworks. The museum gathers a very wide art collection ranging from ancient Egyptian mummies and artefacts to controversial contemporary art pieces.
Located within the Moorilla winery and vineyard, MONA displays over 400 thought-provoking and historical artworks to browse. The Moorilla winery and vineyard adjacent to MONA contain a restaurant, café and bar.
MONA's owner David Walsh boasts an impressive piece of subterranean architecture displaying love and hate pieces and a range of exhibits. Two festivals are hosted at MONA each year and include a Summer festival named Mofo which features an eclectic mix of art and music, and a winter festival in June which explores the dark arts and solstice rituals through music, noise, light, art, food and film.
Reaching MONA is made possible by a 30-minute high-speed ferry departing from Hobart's waterfront at Brooke Street Pier which will take you up the Derwent River and drop you right at the steps leading to the museum. Alternatively, the museum is a short 15-minute drive from Hobart’s centre.
