Luna Luna: A pop art amusement park reborn
In 1987 André Heller convinced some of the most notable artists of the late 20th century (including Keith Haring, David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein and Kenny Scharf) to design an avant-garde amusement park in Hamburg, Germany, called Luna Luna. But the spectacle that was supposed to tour the world ended up in litigation, locked away in shipping containers in the Texas desert. Now, 40 year later, thanks to an investment by mega-rapper and art enthusiast Drake, the artistic remnants of Luna Luna are once again opening to the public in Los Angeles. Correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti talks with Michael Goldberg, who helped uncover the long-forgotten treasures, and with Joel Searles, whose restoration team is bringing each masterpiece back to life.

I saw this last week and I got very overwhelmed with emotion. It is truly an incredible experience and they just extended it until early March. So don't miss it!
Drake out of the blue: lemme give yall a gift
I read about it in the l.a.times but this is great to see the art alive!
It’s worth it ! Just go with people who aren’t in an eternal rush . Man I could have stayed for another hour or two. The more you look the more you see ! I didn’t do the moon pass but I would have loved it !
What a beautiful exhibit
I spent over 3 hours of bliss and wonder there. I can’t wait to see what happens next with it as they unveil more of the treasures. I hope L.A. becomes LUNA’s home. 🎡🎪🌜
Interesting place. Love Keith Haring. Saw him once at old MOMA and nice AIDs memorial at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco.
This is fantastic. What a treasure!!
*Luna Luna, is Absolute Brilliance! 💗*
What a gift....
AMAZING!
It is truly a sight to see and experience. It is worth it to see up close and personal…

How is it fun? You can't even ride the rides! 😬😵💫🤪
Holy moly! Is this staying in LA or is the plan to tour it? I would 100000% travel to visit it if it was exhibited in Atlanta!
🎁🧑🏻🎄🎄 Have a Very Merry Christmas!! 🎄🧑🏻🎄🎁

Rides are meant to be ridden. They should let children ride them.

Yes, that was part of the original artists intentions , I feel part of the art is lost in the preservation. 🎠
You can't even ride the rides?!?! Why even bring them together, why not just split them up and put them in museums or in rich people's homes. Don't call this an amusement park anymore, just call it a gallery. SMH
