Moorilla Estate Pty Ltd v. Lau, Trial Division, Supreme Court of Tasmania (2024)
The case, Moorilla Estate Pty Ltd v. Lau, concerned access to an installation at the Museum of Old and New Art ('Mona'). Mona is a well-known private art museum in Tasmania that is open to the public. The artwork, titled 'Ladies Lounge', is a private lounge area enclosed by a curtain and overseen by an attendant, and access is limited to those who identify as ladies. The respondent described the Ladies Lounge as an artwork which is a response to the lived experience of women forbidden from entering certain spaces throughout history.
