Luna Luna: The Resurrection of a Forgotten Art Carnival
TL;DR
Luna Luna, an art amusement park that originally appeared in Hamburg in 1987, has been resurrected in Los Angeles, drawing visitors from around the world. The park features attractions such as a Ferris wheel designed by Jean-Michel Basquiat, a merry-go-round by Keith Haring, and installations by David Hockney and Roy Lichtenstein. While the rides are off-limits, visitors can explore pavilions by renowned artists and even get married at André Heller's "Wedding Chapel." The exhibition, which has gained popularity through social media, is expected to remain open into the spring.
