MONA, The Museum of Old and New Art
The Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) is located within the Moorilla winery on Hobart’s picturesque Berriedale Peninsula. Owned by David Walsh, MONA is Australia’s largest privately funded museum and is internationally acclaimed as one of Tasmania’s premier tourist attractions. Known for its challenging, thought-provoking, and often controversial collections, MONA offers a unique experience through its extraordinary art, stunning architectural design, and scenic surroundings. A particularly popular time to visit is during summer, when the vibrant MONA market takes place each Sunday.
Getting to MONA is easy by car, with ample on-site parking available. However, for the complete MONA experience, we highly recommend taking the MONA ferry—an iconic “urban camo” catamaran departing from Brooke Street Pier on Hobart’s waterfront. The ferry fare is $25 return. Parking near Brooke Street Pier is limited, so walking into the city to board the ferry is usually the best option.

Museum entry fees are $25 for adults and $20 concession. Entry is free for Tasmanian residents and visitors under 18.
