We hadn't intended to visit Mona but good friends of ours had dropped by earlier in the year and recommended it.
It's just west of Hobart on the Derwent and in the midst of a Winery. The Museum itself is ultra modern with 3 levels dug out of the cliffs (in a James Bond arch villain sort of way). You catch a lift or use the stairs to reach the lower level and then walk gradually back up. A lot of what's on display is very confronting. Maybe that's what art is these days, not just paintings. The artists present their works in various media, both old and new.
Fairly elaborate display.
There were about 200 of these individual pieces under lights on the walls. Each one is distinct from the other. I couldn't find any two the same.
A modern day Porsche. Yes Ross, it is a real Porsche.
