Mona (Museum of Old and New Art) · Brooke Street Pier

Mona like a rockstar

Mona's own long day out, sold on GetYourGuide by the museum itself: the Posh Pit lounge on the ferry, a host on the jetty, a cocktail at the Void Bar, five courses with matched wine at Faro and James Turrell's Event Horizon. Pick it for the time: this is the one option here that gives you most of the day at Mona, with lunch as the centrepiece.

About this experience

This is a newer listing on GetYourGuide, and the package behind it is Mona's own. You board at Brooke Street Pier at 10.15am, per the listing, and ride up the Derwent in the Posh Pit, the ferry's private lounge, bar and deck, with canapés and drinks on the way. A Mona host meets you on the jetty and walks you to the Void Bar on B3 for a cocktail before a first look at the galleries. The group is small, up to 6 people, and the day runs about 7 hours.

Lunch is the main act: a 5-course menu with matched wine at Faro, the restaurant in the Pharos wing, from executive chef Vince Trim, per the listing. Your ticket also covers Event Horizon, James Turrell's light work, which Mona sells on its own for A$12. At 3pm your host takes you to The Source for the view, a digestif and a Mona gift, and then the three underground levels are yours until the ferry home, with more snacks and drinks in the Posh Pit.

Included, per the listing: the Posh Pit ferry both ways with nibbles and drinks, museum entry, the meet and greet, the Void Bar cocktail, the 5-course lunch with matched wine, Event Horizon and the digestif at The Source. Not included: hotel transfers. Mona's own page lists the same package at A$540 per person, Thursday to Monday at 10.15am, with rates valid through to 31 March 2027. It is adults only (18+), and the listing says it is not suitable during pregnancy. A tip: tell Mona about any dietary needs when you book.
