Visiting MONA -  Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart was like stepping into a world where history and contemporary art blend in the most unexpected ways. The museum’s quirky, eclectic vibe makes it a standout, with exhibitions that mix ancient artifacts and modern art in a way I’ve never seen before. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by striking architecture built right into a cliffside, setting the tone for a truly unique experience.

As you wander through, you’ll encounter installations that are both thought-provoking and inspiring, making it an immersive journey through creativity. Admission is $30, which gives you access to all the exhibitions and the museum's distinctive space. If you want to make a day of it, you can savor delicious food and drinks at their restaurants and bars, which range from casual bites to fine dining. Oh, and you will need to download the free app to learn about each piece of art. 

What really stood out for me were the one-of-a-kind art installations; they were unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Whether you’re into art, history, or just looking for something different, MONA is a must-visit. It’s definitely one of those places you’ll want to add to your list.
