Featured Events in New York in November, 2024 (May Updated)

37 years ago, Luna Luna landed in Hamburg, Germany: the world’s first art amusement park, offering rides, games and attractions designed by visionary artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and David Hockney. In a twist of fate, the park’s treasures were sealed in 44 shipping containers and forgotten in Texas – until now. Luna Luna: Forgotten Fantasy uncovers the story of the world’s most fantastical amusement park. The immersive experience allows audiences to wander through the original rides and take part in the history of Luna Luna and the process of rediscovering and reassembling the works. Guests can marry anyone or anyone in André Heller’s Wedding Chapel, experience David Hockney’s Enchanted Tree, walk through Liechtenstein’s Labyrinth, see themselves and more in Salvador Dalí’s Dalídom. In a nod to the spirit of 1987’s Luna Luna, performers roam the space.
