It will be creatively led by Leigh Carmichael, CEO of DarkLab, the production company behind MONA, under the direction of MONA founder, art collector and professional gambler David Walsh. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plans include a cable car across the Chao Phraya river that will link directly to MONA Bangkok.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>‘MONA Bangkok will take the creative spirit of Mona into a new context’, said Carmichael in a statement. ‘Like the museum in Hobart, it will be unconventional and unique, and will present work by leading international artists, while also creating opportunities for meaningful dialogue with Thai artists, audiences and cultural traditions.’</p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read next </strong><a href=\"https://artreview.com/the-true-state-of-bangkoks-art-ecosystem/\">What&#8217;s the True State of Bangkok&#8217;s Art Ecosystem?</a></p>\n","path":"/museum-of-old-and-new-art-to-open-space-in-bangkok/","format":"standard","date":"13 July 2026","rawDate":"2026-07-13T08:56:39.000Z","branch":{"name":"artreview.com"},"author":{"name":"ArtReview","path":"/author/artreview/"},"category":{"name":"News","path":"/category/news/"},"featured_media":{"source_url":"https://backend.artreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/slack-imgs.png","caption":"","alt_text":"","media_details":{"width":2048,"height":1152,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"source_url":"https://backend.artreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/slack-imgs-300x169.png","width":300,"height":169},"medium":{"source_url":"https://backend.artreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/slack-imgs-600x338.png","width":600,"height":338},"large":{"source_url":"https://backend.artreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/slack-imgs-1230x692.png","width":1230,"height":692},"wordpress_1536x1536":{"source_url":"https://backend.artreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/slack-imgs-1536x864.png","width":1536,"height":864},"wordpress_2048x2048":null}}},"acf":{"article_artist":null,"article_video":null,"article_audio":null,"article_collaboration":"","article_custom_html_snippet":"","article_featured_title":"","article_featured_description":"","article_highlight":false,"article_custom_link_url":"","hero_image":null,"seo_title":"News: Museum of Old and New Art to open space in Bangkok","seo_description":"The Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) in Hobart, Tasmania, has announced that it has partnered with the Bangkok-based real estate group Asset World Corp Public Company Limited (AWC) to develop MONA Bangkok.
