Museum of Old and New Art (Mona)

Playful, out-of-the-box exhibitions

Loop System Quintet by Conrad Shawcross

Wildly unorthodox Mona has transformed Hobart into one of Australia’s hippest culture hubs. Lovechild of art collector and professional gambler David Walsh, the $75-million waterfront complex is known for its oft bemusing works, among them its infamous Cloaca Professional ‘Poo Machine’.

Mona includes locavore eateries and a cellar door pouring local wines and craft beers, with a dramatic boutique hotel set to open onsite in 2024.

Mona is also behind Tasmania’s two hugely popular arts festivals: Mona Foma in January and Dark Mofo in June.

Museum visits must be booked online in advance.
