Introduction

The Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), founded by David Walsh in 2011 near Hobart, is a subterranean museum carved into a cliff, famed for provocative, bold contemporary art. A ferry up the Derwent leads to dark, concrete galleries — Australia's most uninhibited art experience. Known for installations like 'The O' and a labyrinthine lower gallery, its bars extend Walsh's rebellious spirit.
