MONA

Love it or hate it there is plenty to get you talking at the notorious MONA (Museum of Old and New Art). Renowned for hosting controversial and risqué exhibitions MONA is a must do whilst in Hobart.  The Museum is open from 10-6 Wednesday-Monday and is accessible by ferry or bus from the Brooke Street Ferry Terminal in central Hobart.
If the art and exhibitions leave you wanting the museum is also on the site of Moorilla winery focusing on a small, high quality output. So when you have finished in the museum head to the cellar door for a tasting or a Moo Brew if beer is more to your taste.
