26th November - MONA

Thursday 26th November 2015

Hobart, I read yesterday somewhere in the media, either paper or cyber, not sure, is once again being hailed as a Number #1 Supremo Tourist Destination.  It is, apparently, a totally desirable place for trendy arty people from all over the world.  Mainly because of MONA (Museum of New and Old Art).

Thanks Mercury for photo
I am one of the many people who is enraptured by MONA.  It is a fabulous building full of art which is mostly inaccessible and incomprehensible to me, but I love the challenge and the vibrant atmosphere. But…some people just detest it! 

Recently a friend from Adelaide came to Tasmania for two precious days only.  She said that she would just love to spend one of these precious days…at MONA.  And when she got there, just loathed it.   Loathed every single thing about it – the building, the contents, the concept.  I think she, and her poor hostess, were really quite exhilarated at having spent such an unsatisfactory day…

Speaking of art…yesterday Zoe had a friend to play, and she organised an art activity, involving a toy unicorn, posed fetchingly on the table to be sketched.

Thanks Zoe (5) for unicorn
Love it!!
