Tasmania's Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) has won an appeal in the state's supreme court in a bid to continue barring men from entering an installation known as the Ladies Lounge.

The exhibit was closed in April after Tasmania's civil and administrative tribunal ordered the museum to admit men to the female-only space, upholding a Sydney man's complaint that the museum had discriminated against him on the basis of gender.
