A Forgotten Fantasy is Revived at The Shed

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Nov 27, 2024

In the 1980's, artist and curator André Heller invited over thirty renowned visionaries including Salvador Dalí, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Sonia Delaunay to design rides, games, and attractions for Luna Luna, which opened to the public in Hamburg, Germany, in 1987. However after its closure, the park’s treasures were forgotten in storage in Texas for 36 years. Chief Creative and Experience Officer Michael Goldberg joins us to discuss the restoration of the materials and bringing Luna Luna back to life at The Shed. Luna Luna: Forgotten Fantasy will close in New York City on Jan. 5.
