香港国际青年艺术家协会会长黄巧娴—充满惊喜和震撼的新旧艺术博物馆 MONA

Chantelle Huang，Society Director of HIYA—MONA, A Museum of Old and New Art Full of Pleasant Surprises and Shocks

最近因为工作关系到了澳洲，而在空闲时参观了一个位于 塔斯曼尼亚的艺术博物馆 —— 新旧艺术博物馆 MONA。它是澳洲最大的私人艺术博物馆，由百万富翁大卫·沃尔什创建，标新立异，突破的想法，被人喻为「颠覆成人的迪斯尼乐园」。

Recently, during my business trip to Australia, I visited an art museum in Tasmania in my spare time - MONA, the Museum of Old and New Art. It is the largest private art museum in Australia, founded by millionaire David Walsh, with unconventional and breakthrough ideas, and has been hailed as "a subversive Disneyland for adults".

在出发前，已经非常期待这个博物馆行程。因为在新旧艺术博物馆 MONA 的网站有一个非常有趣的介绍。当中提到，他们对新旧艺术博物馆 MONA 的定义是不断改变的，它可以是一个非常昂贵的厨房、薯片供应商等。另外还说到博物馆曾经养了一只孔雀，但它一直在攻击蓝色汽车。最后它离开了 MONA，到了一个农场。这搞怪的介绍，令我更急不及待，想到博物馆一探究竟。

Before my departure to Australia, I have already read the fascinating introduction on the website of MONA. I was so looking forward to visiting the museum. It is mentioned in the introduction that their definition of MONA, a museum of old and new art, is constantly changing, it can be a very expensive kitchen, potato chip vendor, etc. It is also said that the museum once kept a peacock, but it kept attacking blue cars. Finally MONA had to relocate the peacock to a farm. This funny introduction made me even more curious, and I couldn’t wait to see this museum.

一到步，我已经被博物馆整座建筑物吸引着了，整座建筑物简直是艺术品。博物馆内放有很多很多艺术品，真的难以相信这是一个人拥有的艺术品。而当中艺术品融合于博物馆的室内设计，整个结合成了另类的艺术品。这种不限于艺术品个体，能与多个艺术品互相配合欣赏的视觉享受，这里简直是包罗万有。

As soon as I arrived, I was totally enthralled by the entire building of the museum, which itself is a great piece of art. There are so many works of art displayed in the museum. It is impossible to believe that they are owned by one person. The artworks are integrated into the interior design of the museum, and the combination formed an unconventional artwork. This kind of visual enjoyment that is not limited to a single piece of art, but can be appreciated in conjunction with multiple pieces of art, is all-encompassing here.

我十分推荐大家如果到澳洲塔斯曼尼亚旅游的话，一定要到这个新旧艺术博物馆 MONA 参观一下。即使本身对艺术无感的人都会被博物馆玩味的一面吸引住！这博物馆定期会举办不同的特备展览，大家不仿到官网查阅特备展览时间吧！

I highly recommend that if you travel to Tasmania, Australia, you must visit MONA. Even people who are not really interested in art will be attracted by the playful side of the museum! The museum regularly holds different special exhibitions. Please go to the official MONA website to check out the special exhibition schedules!
