"A reaffirming girls' trip to far-flung Tasmania, emphasizing the strength of friendship despite long distances."
"MONA [Museum of Old and New Art] has really cool exhibits, and there’s always some kind of music or film or art festival happening year-round." - Laura Dannen Redman
"Australia’s largest private museum, and among the world’s most provocative—think sensory-altering spaces by James Turrell and a wall of porcelain cast female genitals—and its sandstone-embedded architecture is a visual marvel unto itself."
"MONA Pavilions, overlooking the River Derwent on the outskirts of the Tasmanian capital of Hobart, is a prime example of audacious contemporary architecture. Its eight spectacular pavilions are named after Australian artists or architects whose works are in the accompanying Museum of Old and New Art collection, and they’re stuffed to the gills with high-end residential comforts." - Mark Fedeli
