"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.
