We were so looking forward to the day at Mona, but were greatly disappointed. you are given an ipad to view the displayed pieces but it doesn't list what it means or where the idea came from just the artist that made the pieces. After viewing each piece it asks for love or hate, the latter got our vote alot, we just didn't get it. The security people were overpowering too. We couldn't believe the ladies parts on display and then you can buy soaps in the shop. The only reason we would visit again is to eat at Source restaurant.
Fascinating, always varied, always changing fantastic collection of exhibits. Intriguing, wonderful and curious. Definately need to spend an entire day exploring this wonderful venue.
当你在霍巴特的时候,你一定不能错过。他们真的做得非常出色,把有趣的博物馆都整合在一起了。这里有非常老的东西-但是却用一种很现代很独特的方式来展示-你一点都不觉得你是在博物馆里。其次,还有一些新的东西-但是你会觉得你更像是在一个博物馆里,而不是在一个画廊里。很不错-再加上隔壁的Moo Brew的味道很不错的白酒和啤酒,真的是这趟旅程最棒的地方了。
Very nice grounds. Someone with a big Ego decides to show off. Art not for all. The Guy has car park signed "GOD" and God Mistress". Not worth the price tag for visitors outside Tasmania.
hey, kiwi from outback wa...my lady and myself spent nearly a day at mona..great boat trip out and back , a fantastic collection of 'out there art'...we all ways had something to talk about the exibits, ..as they say 'art is in the eye of the beholder'...loved the controversial stuff, was great observing folks reactions....could say that you need a penis wall to go with the vaginas, ..and a fantastic job on the building , and a great market/music out the back .......will recommend .....got told off a few times ..just wanted to touch stuff....the attendants were helpful with answers...well done 'god'....................ps ..great having no signage!!
I didn't know what to expect when going to MONA, and wasn't sure of what I saw after leaving. The underground structure and lighting is very impressive. Surface location and cafe overlooking River Derwent was excellent. However, the displays were disappointing and pretentious. Piles of coal surrounded by gunny sacks, piles of industrial metal on top of broken glass, TV monitors scattered about showing videos of I don't know what, a wall with hundreds of plaster full scale models of female genitalia, Egyptian mummies and coffins (the staff did not know if they were real or facsimiles) and on and on.To make things worse there were no written descriptions of the art (?) or who the artists were, there was no logic to the flow of the displays, as everything seemed to be randomly placed. Final impression was a feeling of pretentious artists and curators knowing what is 'best' in modern art, rather than the peons paying the way. After seeing a number of galleries recently in Germany and Austria, I was very disappointed in what was on display at the MONA.
很棒的体验。最好要保持开放的心态,充分利用游览来确定自己的期望。我喜欢这个地方,享受艺术带来的美,就在这美妙的创意空间尽情呼吸吧。
博物馆超棒,真是让人思考,会时不时被打扰。很棒很有趣!我要推荐这里的烈酒和红酒品尝!如果买一瓶红酒或烈酒,那会提供免费航空托运。相信我,真的很棒!我要推荐烈酒吧的Chacuterie拼盘。我真的很享受这次行程,希望你也有机会享受喔。
This is NOT your father's museum. It is an experience that will not be to everyone's liking. Some exhibits are outstanding, some provoke wonder, and some will leave you asking " what the hell were they thinking?" It has been described as a rich guy's " look at me " project. Not necessarily incorrect.
Our second trip and it's just still amazing. Mind opening and provocative and the Cloaca has to been and smelt to be believed!
