Renovation Cost
The Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) underwent a massive $75 million renovation before its grand opening in 2011.
Hidden Depths
MONA's main building is largely underground, built into the cliffs of the Berriedale peninsula, creating a unique and immersive experience for visitors.
Windowless Wonder
Unlike most museums, MONA has no windows, creating a distinct atmosphere and focusing attention solely on the art within.
Descending into Art
A dramatic spiral staircase leads visitors down to the three levels of labyrinthine display spaces within MONA, adding to the museum's intriguing design.
