Superb art museum. Lovely pieces in a spectacular building. The app worked really well too. I’m not certain it’s suitable for young children thought there were plenty there. If I lived in Tassie I’d visit this often.

As visitors from the UK we have visited many museums & and art galleries in lots different countries & this was the best experience we have ever had. If you are broad minded & like rique fun, put this incredible place on your bucket list. It's certainly not for the fainthearted, but as a family with 3 generations, we loved every minute, the O app is outstanding & advises when approaching explicit displays & we hope to visit again from doom laden Post Brexit Britian.

An icon of Hobart that's for sure! We visited around 11am on the day we flew into Hobart from Sydney with out 8 month old so we were certainly a bit tired. With both of us art teachers we knew this was a must see. We booked tickets in advance and drove there from Hobart. The drive is fairly short but parking is very limited so definitely keep that in mind if choosing to drive. The gallery is constructed around a lift and you start at the bottom. It is pretty tight and dim down there which is completely different to most large galleries. The collection is certainly impressive. Must visit for art nerds, history buffs and those that love a bit of a scandal. But do pack your walking shoes and some sustenance, it's a biggun. It is a pretty tricky gallery to visit with a pram as there are plenty of levels and areas connecting each area more efficiently via stairs so certainly something to keep in mind. I found next to no parent rooms through the gallery, or areas to sit. This made it challenging to breastfeed or change a nappy so unfortunately we had to speed through the remaining part of the gallery. Great areas to visit when you've risen from the depths of the gallery. Areas for kids to run around, restaurants, live music.

I had read and heard great reviews about MONA since it opened. Finally visited Tasmania after a long while and MONA was high on the list. On approach, the building is distinctive and impressive, carved into the cliffside by the river. We arrived at 10am and expected to finish looking around until lunchtime. How wrong I was. By lunchtime we had seen half of the building and exhibitions. Lunched at Faro. High end dining, presentation and service was exceptional. Experienced the James Turrell installations, highly recommend. Resumed strolling through the rest of the museum and exited via the gift shop just before 5pm. A day very well spent. The art is fantastic and thought provoking and the architecture of the building is stunning.

Such a beautiful balance of old and new art. Beautifully displayed traditional art mixed amongst stunning modern concepts. Something for everyone. If you arent a 'art museum' person, you will be with this one!

There is some marvelous art here are some playful labelling. I loved Obsidian by Jonsi and some of the most amusing pieces. However, the great is randomly interspersed among a lot of nonsense. My generation impression was that someone with too much money and no taste was struggling to find things to waste cash on. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am not unfamiliar with being pretentious. Much of MONA seems to be pretentious for the sake of being pretentious; a hipster guide to the art of being artsy. There was a whole area of adult only art that was meant to shock. None of it was actually shocking but it was trying very hard.

Incredible experience . Took the catamaran from Hobart Harbour to one of the most interesting, challenging ,engaging and well designed galleries I have ever visited. Staff were without exception very friendly and helpful make sure you wander outside don’t miss the outdoor bar, eateries laid out around a lawn. Amazing experiential day out

I went in with an open mind. The building design and views over the water are incredible. I generally found the overall layout difficult to navigate, even with the app maps. If their were themes in areas of the museum, I didn't get it, so most of MONA seems disorganised to me. Many of the exhibits were very interesting, but some were just silly nonsense to me. If you are sensitive to stimulation, avoid this place because you will be overloaded for much of the time both visually and sound. Many of the exhibits had inadequate lighting, making me want to pull out my phone to light in the piece.

I loved it. I see there are various opinions, so you’ll have to go and then decide. We agree it was a highlight of our trip to Hobart. From the posh pit ferry, to the wonderful grounds, and then interesting art, I definitely recommend. Get the app before going underground as it can be hard to download. There was so much to see, but not overwhelming. Thought there was such a range, it was incredible. Various experiences to I think people of all ages could enjoy.

Different, unusual and unpredictable exhibition, but interesting. It's great place to visit, it's big, open space inside and out. You will see that some people are very confused with exhibitions, but some loved a lot. In same time is modern and old, with Faraon and mix technologies, sex, death and life. Loved outdoor with very relaxed atmosphere; food and drinks and playground for kids. You can drive or go with Ferry. We spent 3 and a half hours, combined with outdoor.
