Amazing attractions are scattered all around Hobart, and the Museum of Old and New Art aka MONA is one of its very best. If you ever find yourself in the capital of Tasmania, here are three reasons why you should check out this visionary museum.

Amazing Collection

MONA is, first and foremost, a museum and its amazing exhibits deserve a moment of your time. Most of the art pieces, around 2,000 in total, are a part of David Walsh’s private collection. They’re displayed in a pretty unique way, with no labels, and in non-chronological order, but you can learn a lot about them thanks to the audio guide.

Architectural Gem

In addition to being home to an impressive art collection, MONA’s building is a work of art in its own right. This is one of the biggest architectural marvels in all of Tasmania and it’s equally impressive when you get inside thanks to its futuristic spiral staircases.

Wine and Dine

If you want to end your visit to MONA on a high note, visit one of the chic cafés and restaurants on its premises. The Source and Faro are two of the most popular options, but wine lovers should also give Moorilla Wine Bar a shot.
