Finding the museum

MONA stands on the Berriedale peninsula beside the River Derwent, 11 km north of central Hobart: about 30 minutes by ferry from Brooke Street Pier or 20 minutes by road.

• By ferry: catamarans run between Brooke Street Pier in Hobart and MONA, taking about 30 minutes; check the timetable and fares before you travel.
• By bus or car: Metro buses 510, 520, 522 and X20 pass MONA, and parking on site is limited.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• Accessible toilets throughout the museum and grounds.
• Lifts between the entrance and the three underground floors.
• Lawns by the river to pause between galleries.
• Bars and restaurants on site, from the Void Bar to Faro.

MONA is cashless. Download The O before you visit, and bring a layer for the cool galleries underground. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

MONA is mostly accessible, with a ground-level entrance and lifts to its three underground floors. Some areas, including parts of the Round House, are not accessible, and there is a lot of walking. Wheelchairs can be borrowed on arrival but not reserved.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask museum staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the museum thoughtfully

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• Leave the artworks untouched and don’t use flash photography; some spaces are dark or loud, with strobe lighting or confined areas.
• Smoking and animals are not permitted on the site.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

Some works are confronting and may not suit children; The O gives warnings as you go.

Make time for a pause

MONA has several bars and restaurants, including the Moorilla Wine Bar, Faro Bar + Restaurant, The Source Restaurant and the Void Bar.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Opening times vary by venue; check before you plan a meal.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: arrive within the hour printed on your ticket and start at the museum entrance.
• Dress for exploring: comfortable shoes, a warm layer and a charged phone for The O make the day easier.
• Leave space to linger: allow time for the galleries, the lawns and the river views.
