In short: Tasmanian art gallery Mona has hung artworks by Pablo Picasso in a female toilet cubicle in response to a failed court bid to exclude men from a women-only art installation.

In April, a court ruling found Mona discriminated when it refused a New South Wales man entry to its Ladies Lounge.

What's next? Mona curator Kirsha Kaechele is appealing the discrimination ruling in the Supreme Court.
