Mona - The Museum of Old and New Art - Hobart, Tasmania
This is not your usual museum. It is a private collection housed in an amazing gallery carved out of sandstone cliffs. It is a very eclectic collection - quite amazing actually - and quite outrageous in sections! One of the photos in the collage is an artificial, functioning intestine which is fed at regular interval and "poos" at advertised times!! Another of the photos is a small section of artfully lighted and nicely spaced plaster casts of dozens and dozens of female private parts!
@woofandweft1 Amazing it is! One person who made his money from gambling - and then gambled it all by setting up this place. He was interviewed in the paper and commented - " If it hadn't worked Mona could have just been a very expensive lounge room!" He's very switched on though - all Tasmanians have free entry - it seems as if they've all been - and they all suggest that you don't miss it! It was worth seeing too. Cheers for now Rob
