Once upon a time, an artist imagined a fantastical gallery where artwork wasn’t just looked at, it was played on. A fairground where you could ride on a carousel of Keith Haring’s iconic cartoons, spin on the chair swings painted by Kenny Scharf, and go up a Ferris wheel covered in Jean-Michel Basquiat’s designs. In the summer of 1987, this artistic carnival became a reality in Hamburg, Germany. But logistical issues closed the park and locked away the artwork—until now.
This past December, the doors of the world’s first art amusement park opened once again—this time in a 60,000-square-foot warehouse in Los Angeles. Luna Luna: Forgotten Fantasy showcases the whimsical work of 15 world-renowned artists, including Sonia Delaunay, Salvador Dalí, and Roy Lichtenstein. Thanks to a $100 million investment from mega-rapper Drake’s entertainment company DreamCrew, the park’s original pieces are back on display, and you can experience this avant-garde carnival until springtime.
