Legendary 'Art Amusement Park' Luna Luna Reopens in Los Angeles

The park, featuring installations by Basquiat, Dalí, and Haring, was revived by Drake's firm DreamCrew after over three decades in storage.

Overview

  • Luna Luna, an 'art amusement park' featuring installations by renowned artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Salvador Dalí, and Keith Haring, has been reopened in Los Angeles after being stored away for over three decades.
  • The park was originally created in 1987 by Austrian artist André Heller with the aim of making art accessible to all.
  • Despite the park's attractions no longer being functional, visitors can explore installations and learn about the park's history and restoration process.
  • The park's revival was made possible by arts and entertainment firm DreamCrew, co-founded by rapper Drake, which purchased Luna Luna from the Stephen and Mary Birch Foundation.
  • The park's new owners plan to invite modern-day artists to contribute new and fully-operational attractions for a global tour, in line with Heller's original vision.
