Music at Mona
Let local musical talent serenade / subject you to light entertainment while you’re eating your veggie burger. Good luck with that.
If the weather’s nice, the music is on the lawns. If it’s crap, it’s inside the museum. Don’t miss musicians-in-residence Ben Salter and Danny Healy performing live in their museum studios each day.
