My favourite gallery in Australia, and maybe even the whole world. It's personally funded by the super generous David Walsh in his avant-garde art collection. The gallery is based on the central themes of sex and death as a "subversive adult Disneyland". Not suitable for children so leave them at home. Food choices are extensive and there are a range of super restaurants. A few selected art works require bookings and a nominal payment which were worth it if you're an art lover. If you're just a casual visitor just skip these. Allow at least half a day for a good visit. Catching the MONA ferry is the best way to get here for the full experience. If you want to stay for dinner then you'll have to drive and there's plenty of free parking. A final tip is to use the MONA app called "The O" which will track the art you see and allow you to remember what you saw. It has some brief info on each piece, audio guide, and virtual queuing for the exclusive art experiences.
An Absolut Must !!!!!! If you love out the box,eccentric and exploring this is for you. Not sure for kids as I feel my lot would only switch on when the boobs were on display. 10/10 staff were great and facilities also fantastic. Go and have fun.
MONA 🤩 what an absolutely fantastic museum (especially if you're not a traditional museum-goer like myself). I cannot recommend MONA enough, it is so good! Fun, quirky, confronting, interactive and educational. There is something for everyone. The entire space is so well set up, with different levels offering different installations and artworks. On the ground level you'll find a dimly lit, but classy bar and café space. Hands down, an absolute cracking attraction to visit when in Hobart. Its an easy 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Wonderful !! If you enjoy innovative and quirky, surprising art in a unique, impressive setting, DON'T MISS IT !! There really isn't anything like MONA anywhere else in the world !! We're seniors from Sydney and we loved it, arrived at 10 and didn't leave until 3. Make sure you allow at least 2 hours, but more is better !! We were staying not far away and didn't have any problem parking. You can also buy tickets there ( and avoid the booking fee ) , but I wouldn't risk that in peak times.
Mona!!! What can I say about this museum! The place itself (outside) has a nice view, lots of interesting art pieces where you can take photos, and even a trampoline for kids! As for the museum itself — well, it’s not really my type of museum, but I was curious to see what was inside. It turned out to be quite a strange place, with some creepy photos and artworks that might not be to everyone’s taste! On the underground level, be cautious — there’s an adult-only area, so definitely don’t bring your kids inside! Some parts are really creepy and could even give you nightmares. There’s also an old tomb that I believe hasn’t been opened — it felt like something from the pyramid era! As for the value… hmm, I think the ticket price is a bit overrated. Would I come back? Maybe not — once is enough! Hahaha.
Utterly amazing. By far the best gallery I have ever seen. Breathtaking displays and architecture. Lovely ferry trips to and from the gallery. Our visit to the MONA is the absolute highlight of our holiday so far.
The building is incredible. The highlight of all the exhibits is a machine that takes a crap a couple of times a day. If your into watching machines shit you’ll love the MONA. Empty a bin out in the local park and admire the modern art you create and save yourself the entry.
Loved Mona. We took the ferry and paid extra for the 'Posh Pit'. The museum is just amazing. We spent 5 hours there, but will have to come back as we couldn't see everything. I have been to a few museums all over the world and this is my new favourite

My fiance and I had a great time at Moorilla. Our host, a guy from Adelaide, is very knowledgable at not only wine but also history of Mona. Really appreciated his curating and customer service. Thank YOU!
This place is so cool. I was down there for a few hours and time went so quick so much to look at and once you come back up the top you can always go back down because there’s still so much to see again. Would definitely recommend going here worth the money.
We had a wonderful experience at Moorilla Cellar Door on our last day of the Tasmania trip. I’m not a big fan of wine myself, but my father-in-law and partner absolutely love it — and I have to say, I ended up really enjoying it too! The staff were amazing, especially the gentleman who looked after us during the tasting — the one in the pictures (I think his name was Brad, though I’m not entirely sure). He read my expressions so well and helped me find wines that suited my taste perfectly. He explained the food pairings beautifully and made the whole experience fun, relaxed, and memorable. Such a great way to wrap up our trip!
We only had starters here to try with the views and some wine. Wine was really delicious and the starter we had was a truffle mushroom sundae with brioche. This was really delicious all together and unique. The views were lovely. However, the service was pretty poor. Repeated requests for additional wine and long delays in bringing the orders back. A shame as we would have liked to have stayed longer, but we didn't have the time.
Nicole greeted us very warm and kindly!🤍 She explained about wine professionally and it really helped me to enjoy various wines. It was lovely and amazing!!!! I loved everything there and wanna come back to enjoy again.🫶🫶🫶
Nice place to chill after exploring MONA. Pumpkin soup with Dahl was amazing!
This is my 3rd trip to MONA and somehow I had not known previously that the food element to this place existed (maybe because it’s called a Wine Bar I might have thought it was a cellar door?). Anyway, this trip we got to go prior to visiting the museum and were extremely surprised by the food on offer. This place is like fine dining without the pretentious people / restaurant which is okay by us. We had the oysters, God’s Mezze and the King Prawn Poke Bowl to share. The dishes were packed with flavour, super delicious and plentiful. The staff were super friendly, the restaurant was very spacious and the food came out quickly. All pluses in our book. Would definitely recommend you include it for your next trip to MONA.
If all your stars line up, you may be lucky enough to be hosted by the more than lovely Maddy. It happened to us. As we were chatting and travelled around the world we got to taste one sparkling, two whites and two reds. Very unique wines with very unique notes. Definitely worth a visit. Definitely worth an add-on to a museum visit. XO
