From stunning natural beauty to diverse wildlife, Tasmania has it all, but did you know its culture and art scene are just as impressive? Amazing museums are scattered all around this island, but none of them compares to Hobart’s Museum of Old and New Art, and here’s how MONA became one of the top Tassie attractions.
Architectural Wonder
One of the most impressive things about MONA is that you don’t even have to step inside to be knocked off your feet. The building that houses this museum is the biggest wonder of modern architecture that Tasmania has in store, but the real magic starts when you step inside and start exploring its futuristic interior.
Unique Experience
No matter how many art museums you’ve visited, nothing will prepare you for what awaits behind the doors of MONA. The Museum of Old and New Art includes around 2,000 pieces of modern art from David Walsh’s private collection, and its immersive exhibits can be followed via the audio guide called The O since there are no labels on the walls.
Fine Dining
Most people visit MONA for its impressive art collection, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. Several restaurants and cafés are located on its premises, offering fine dining and wine-tasting experiences, including The Source, Faro, Heavy Metal Kitchen, and Moorilla Wine Bar.
