Cultural and Theme Tours

Ferry. Feast. Fancy art. Flashy views. Fine wine. A full-frontal Mona experience.

Journey to Mona at 10:15am in the Posh Pit —the ferry’s lavish private lounge, bar and deck—devour complimentary canapés and beverages on the thirty minute voyage along the River Derwent.

On arrival, as you jump off the ferry, meet your Mona Host on the jetty landing, who will escort you to the Void Bar, introduce you to the bartender and get you sorted with a cocktail to fortify yourself for a quick plunge into the nearby galleries.

After some art, you’ll arrive in the museum’s Faro Bar + Restaurant for a feast from rockstar executive chef Vince Trim—including fancy matched drinks from Mona’s wine cellar and access to Event Horizon, James Turrell’s neuron-tingling light artwork.

At 3pm, your host will escort you to The Source Restaurant—Mona’s temple to Tasmanian dining—for sweeping views, a final sip, and a special gift, before you head back underground. Suitably addled / prepared, you’ll explore David Walsh’s three-level subterranean collection of art and antiquities before slipping back onto the ferry (further snacks, drinks) and landing back in Hobart while the night is still young.

Mona Like a Rockstar

Museum like a rockstar. Sunglasses optional.

Jump on the Mona Roma ferry at 10.15am for a late breakfast in the luxurious Posh Pit (complimentary drinks, tiny food). On landing at Mona, flash your credentials and be escorted to the Void Bar, where you’ll make friends with the bartender (helpful later) and cop a cocktail to prepare you for the nearby galleries. After some art, swan into the museum’s Faro Bar and Restaurant for an excessive, luxuriant feast from rockstar executive chef Vinnie—including fancy matched drinks from Mona’s famed wine bunker and exclusive access to some neuron-tingling James Turrell light artworks. Suitably addled / prepared, you’ll explore David Walsh’s sprawling underground collection of art and antiquities (expanding your rockstar brain) before slipping back onto the ferry (further snacks, drinks) and landing back in Hobart while the night is still young.
