The Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) is the enfant terrible
of Australia’s art museum scene.
A visit to this unique site – a twenty-minute ferry ride on
the Mona Roma from Hobart – is known around town as a trip down the rabbit
hole, due to the capacity of this dark, cavernous, underground gallery to
“transport” you and leave you feeling pleasantly disorientated.
MONA Roma 1 sports a controversial military camouflage
exterior, and inside is divided into five public spaces over two levels, with a
two-tier admission. General admission is for the main, aft and upper decks,
serviced by two bars and an array of fixed and loose seating. VIP admission
includes drinks and canapés in the restricted Posh Pit at the bow of the boat.
Large windows with low sills and higher-than-standard ceilings give the
interior an open feel and offer all passengers clear views to the passing vistas
and a close connection to the river.
