WAN Team Dubbed "the subversive adult Disneyland", the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) is located in Tasmania and features around 400 works of art from Egyptian mummies to Young British Artists including Chris Ofili and Jenny Saville.

But the most talked-about piece is the Cloaca Professional, labeled the "poo-machine." It was built by Belgian artist Wim Delvoye to mimic the actions of the human digestive system.

What do you think about this?

WAN Team ART TIPS: Do you have an old oil painting brush that's hardened? To get dried oil paint off a natural hair brush, soak it in nail-polish remover for a minute or two. Wipe off clean your brushes with soap and water as usual. Just be sure to make it a short soak, nail-polish remover can melt the glue that holds the fibers and will melt synthetic brush hairs.

Valeria Garrido Bisceglia For nearly six decades a Cézanne watercolor depicting Paulin Paulet, a gardener on the artist’s family estate near Aix-en-Provence, was familiar to scholars only as a black-and-white photograph. No one knew if the actual work, a study for Cézanne’s celebrated “Card Players” paintings, still existed and, if it did, who owned it.
