KATHE KOLLWITZ MUSEUM

MUSEUM OF OLD AND NEW ART

‘I discovered MONA fully by chance the primary time we toured Australia. It seems like a little bit island and is reached by a brief ferry from Hobart. You stroll down three ranges by way of a spiral staircase after which instantly there’s an enormous underground gallery constructed like a labyrinth. The construction is sort of extra thrilling than the artwork itself, although the items are very cool. It jogged my memory of being a toddler visiting the Science Museum as a result of they’d lots of interactive installations, and I like that feeling of attending to “do” the artwork.’ mona.web.au
ROWANS TEN PIN BOWLING

‘I used to come back right here as a child to bowl, after which as an grownup to drink. It’s a little bit cheesy, however in probably the most excellent method. It’s not only a bowling alley: there are two dancefloors, you may order blue vodka slushies, there’s a video games arcade and a DJ who performs each single tune you’re too embarrassed to ask for. There’s nobody sort of individual at Rowans; it’s an actual mish-mash of cultures and solely £1 to get in!
