Rediscovering Luna Luna: The Art Amusement Park That Captivated the World
TL;DR Summary
Luna Luna, the first "art amusement park" that opened in Hamburg in 1987 featuring works by renowned artists like Basquiat and Haring, has been resurrected in Los Angeles thanks to curation and restoration efforts led by Drake. The park showcases over 30 rare and pristinely restored works, including a painted chair ride, two carousels, an intricate entryway, Salvador Dali's "Dalídom," and a Ferris wheel designed by Basquiat. Although most rides cannot be ridden, visitors can experience the whimsical creations up close and in action. Tickets are available until January 14, 2023.
