Tasmania’s capital of Hobart is home to many amazing attractions that make it worth the visit, but none of them compares to MONA. The Museum of Old and New Art is Hobart’s most popular tourist attraction, and here are three reasons why you shouldn’t miss it while visiting this city.
Architectural Marvel
You don’t even have to start exploring MONA’s art collection to be wowed by it. This museum is one of the biggest marvels of modern architecture on Australian soil, and its spiral staircases will make you feel like you stepped into a futuristic labyrinth, with no ending in sight.
Visionary Collection
MONA’s collection includes almost 2,000 pieces, and it’s unlike any other museum that you’ve seen before. All the works are a part of David Walsh’s private collection, and they’re arranged in non-chronological order without museum labels, allowing you to explore them through an audio guide.
Dining Experiences
After exploring MONA’s artwork, you should finish your visit with a lunch or dinner in one of its amazing restaurants and cafés. MONA is home to some of Hobart’s best dining and wine tasting experiences, including The Source, Faro, and Moorilla Wine Bar.
