Mona Museum of Old and New Art

We took a wander around the quirky museum of old and new art , Mona , situated on the banks of the Derwent River in Hobart. It is arrayed across three underground levels and is the brainchild of Hobart philanthropist David Walsh. Words used to describe Mona include funny, weird, confronting, subversive, sexy, provocative, engaging, disturbing - described by the owner as " a subversive adult Disneyland".
