Artistic Vision at MONA

Opened in January 2011, the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) showcases over 2000 significant artworks, including antiquities and contemporary pieces. Founded by David Walsh, it has become a major cultural hub.

Located 12 km north of Hobart, MONA's unique architecture is mostly underground, carved into the Triassic sandstone, creating a distinctive visitor experience amidst the natural landscape. The museum is a key player in Tasmania's cultural scene and hosts major events such as MONA FOMA and Dark Mofo, alongside a winery and restaurant.
