Museum of Old and New Art (MONA)

    

MONA was a fun experience. E and I enjoy going to Museums and Art Gallery's, we can spend hours looking at pieces and wondering the meaning of life.

Many might know MONA for the 'Poo Machine'. Its an art piece, of how to make poo - everyday at 2pm it poo's the day we seemed to be there the poo was a bit constipated. I did smell like poo and farts but you soon get use to it - or maybe my nurse training might have made me immune to smells. I did enjoy seeing that and how it is an actual thing. 


 

They also had this fountain, if you can call it that, that sprays 'most searched words from google'. I found it very interesting the meaning behind this piece. You are only able to see the word when it is in the light at the right spot, You can also only see the word when it at the very top and all the drops are together. 
The artist explained that this is the crucial spot where by what you release onto the internet has an effect and that you have no control about what happens after you post anything. 

 

The blank library I enjoyed with the idea of all our information is on the internet and that referencing a book is almost a thing of the past - Leaving books or library empty.

The mummy we waited about 20 mins just to see a mummy that is supposedly still inside the its coffin. We have no way of knowing that this is true, but we saw a coffin in a dark room surrounded but water.

Would go back to MONA and suggest everyone goes and see the Poo machine.
