About MONA

Discover Mona, the iconic museum in beautiful Hobart, Tasmania. Its creator, David Walsh, envisioned it as a way to punch above his weight and challenge traditional ideas about art. But be warned: Mona is constantly evolving, so any attempt to define it will soon be outdated. Come see for yourself what all the buzz is about.

Discover Australia’s largest private museum, the Museum of Old and New Art (Mona), which holds a fascinating collection of ancient, modern, and contemporary art. Located just a ferry ride away from Hobart, Mona’s underground galleries are waiting to be explored with the innovative O handheld technology. Created by David Walsh as his personal playground and experiment, Mona challenges visitors to question the role of art in our lives. Come and experience this unique museum for yourself!
