MONA – Museum of Old and New Art
Things To Do Berriedale, Glenorchy, Tasmania
Cultural and Theme Tours
Looking at art used to be boring. It still is, maybe, but at least at Mona, the Museum of Old and New Art, you can get drunk and/or rage against the machine.
Located just up the river from Hobart (Tasmania’s southern capital), Mona’s subterranean architecture showcases the highlights (and lowlights) of David Walsh’s $110m private collection of art and antiquities, as well as hosting a busy exhibitions program.
Mona is also home to the Moorilla winery, two restaurants, several bars, accommodation pavilions, a recording studio, and more (plus Moo Brew, an off-site brewery).
Each June, Mona’s Dark Mofo winter festival delves into centuries-old winter solstice rituals and celebrates the dark through art, music, food, film, light and noise.

Immerse yourself in a full self-guided day of art, food and wine—all the bits you don’t want to miss—at Mona and Moorilla.
Peruse the museum, taste some wine (it’d be rude not to). Enjoy a relaxing lunch. Listen to live music. Wander around the museum and grounds in a state of pleasant reverie / moderate anxiety.
