We recommend catching the ferry to Mona. By the time Mofo comes around, there’ll be an accessible entrance via tunnel if you need it. If this is you, make yourself known to staff on the ferry. The ferry departs Hobart from Brooke Street Pier (accessible via lift and ramp entrance). So does our wheelchair-accessible bus. If driving to Mona, accessible parking spots are located in the main car park, approximately 150m 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 75m from the museum entrance.

Available at the Wine Bar and Ether Building at the rear of the event. Ask staff for assistance if you're having difficulty finding them. 

Quiet spaces/break out rooms for sensory relief

Make your way to see staff at the entrance gates if you require access to a quieter space during the event.

Entry is free for companions. Please contact Bookings and Enquiries directly on +61 (3) 6277 9978 to book or add a Companion Card ticket to a booking.

At dusk, they’ll bring Western Australia’s vast Pilbara to life on the Mona lawns, using music, vision and story.
