MONA, the Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart, Tasmania is truly more than a museum: People can explore art and exhibitions but also enjoy live music, bars and restaurants, even use a library or recording studio. Desiging the lighting concept for this multifunctional space was quite complex and required a collaboration between lighting designer, exhibition designers, curators and artists. The museum’s unconventional approach to exhibitions required innovative and flexible lighting solutions. Those were realised with versatile Parscan spotlights with different track solutions from pendant hi-trac tracks to singlets. Outdoors Tesis in-ground luminaires are used to illuminate the playground area to provide guidance and good orientation.
