The 2012 NSC will include a private cocktail reception and viewing in the spectacular Museum of Old and New Art, MONA, described by owner David Walsh as "a subversive adult Disneyland". Artworks at MONA include antiquities, such as coins, flints and sarcophagii, paintings by Sir Sidney Nolan and an array of controversial modern art. All delegates will find MONA to be an 'experience', for better or for worse.
Join the committee for a cocktail in the architecturally spectacular MONA.
During the 2012 NSC MONA will host a major exhibition curated by Jean-Hubert Martin, who is well known in Europe for his ground-breaking exhibition 'Magicians of the Earth' at the Pompidou in 1989.
