In Absence
A tower rises from the foreshore bisected by a slice of nothing, from Kokatha / Nukunu artist Yhonnie Scarce and Edition Office architects Kim Brigland and Aaron Roberts, referencing Aboriginal stone eel traps and housing 1600 murnong or ‘daisy yam’ tubers blown in black glass.
In Absence was originally commissioned by the National Gallery of Victoria and awarded the 2019 NGV Architecture Commission.Warning

Accessibility
Mona
Most of Mona is accessible, with some limitations. Staff can help you navigate. The Museum Box Office and Information Desk have hearing loops available. There are four accessible toilets in the museum, and two in other buildings on site. Refer to the O app while you’re there— it pinpoints useful stuff like the three lifts, parent and carer room, and accessible toilets.
If you need somewhere quiet for a break, try the parent and carer room on B3. You are also welcome to leave the museum and re-enter, subject to capacity. Speak to gallery staff if you need assistance.
We recommend catching the ferry to Mona—it’s the best way to get there. If catching the ferry, there is an accessible entrance via tunnel if you need it. If this is you, make yourself known to ferry staff. The ferry departs Hobart from Brooke Street Pier (accessible via lift and ramp entrance). If driving, accessible parking spots are in the main car park, approximately 300m from the museum entrance. Go to the top of the driveway, turn left and look for the signs. Alternatively, get dropped off at the bus stop at the top of the drive, approximately 200m from the museum entrance.
