Arrayed across three underground levels, the $75-million museum created by local philanthropist-owner David Walsh mixes ancient antiquities among contemporary artworks. It's sexy, provocative, disturbing and deeply engaging – don't miss it.To get here, catch the MONA ferry or MONA Roma shuttle bus from Hobart’s Brooke St Pier."
