What it is

MONA was founded by the collector David Walsh and opened in January 2011 on the Moorilla winery estate in Berriedale. Most of the building lies underground: visitors descend a spiral staircase into dim galleries cut into the rock, where antiquities sit alongside provocative contemporary works, often without conventional labels.

The museum has become one of Tasmania's main attractions and also runs its own winter and summer festivals in Hobart. The grounds include a winery, restaurants and views across the river.
