TOP Cafe - Glenorchy

The MONA Cafe is located on the top level of the Museum of Old and New Art.

Given that you're paying good money to be at MONA all day, and they don't allow you to bring food in with you, the cafe is hard to avoid, and I tried to

Lovely little cafe with some great take out or eat in options and some neat wines tooThis place is on top of MONA just next to The Source restaurant.

When I asked a friend, what I have to do in Tasmania, he said: MONA. So I did and it was great. If you can’t afford the ferry (which would be a recommendation tho , you can also go there by public transport in about an hours (until 31. April it’s free! . You should definitely get the app as it can tell you a lot more are the pieces. You should plan to spend a minimum of 3 hours here, which you can easily extend to 5, as there is so much to see. Many describe Mona as “just weird”. That might be true but it in a very interesting way. It made even me, who knows nothing about arts, think and reflect. Or just wonder. Or just be amazed. It’s a great place, there is lots of stuff for kids to see too, maybe just ask the staff which rooms to focus on/avoid. You have to book the tickets in advanced on their website which is really easy to do. 10/10 would recommend. :

It’s hard to believe that I’ve only just managed to visit this gallery, after decades of desperately wanting to! This museum is GREAT! Literally the best gallery in the world that I’ve been to, including those in Firenze, Italy. MONA is an entire artistic experience… from the moment you enter, it’s like being transported inside a Salvador Dali painting. The focus on surrealism really did things for me. No boredom where: many of the installations are interactive, or landscapes that you walk through. Every kid I saw in the place loved it as much as the adults. In fact, everyone should ensure that their kids get to spend at least one whole day exploring MONA. My only criticism is that some of the staff were incredibly rude, which was a pity when the art was so enjoyable and their whole job was to interact with the public and be helpful and friendly! But even those bad apples couldn’t ruin the crumble. Visit this place. It will blow your mind!
