Maybe some of the artworks aren't of a Louvre or National Gallery standard, but the spectacular building itself, and the quirky weirdness of some of the experiences, make up for that.
It's in Berriedale, a few kilometres up the Derwent from Hobart's CBD, and the classy way to get there is on board the good ship Mona Roma, which is a somewhat quirky experience too. The kids riding on the sheep's backs here were looking out at the Aurora Australis. Australia's Antarctic expeditioners' transport was about to leave on its first supply trip of the season.
I'd been to MONA a few years earlier, but I was assured the experience changes often, with new exhibits, and whole new spaces appearing from time to time. Sure enough, most of the spaces I stumbled on this time were completely new to me.
Here, people were venturing out, one by one, for a disorienting experience in a strange black-and-white cube room.
Or looking down on a weird mechanical crawling monster thing.
This chap looks pretty disoriented too, lost in a mysterious fantasy bubble room.
The blue room is quite something. It becomes a red room or a green room now and again, by the way.
