(Sabina Sarnitz/Luna Luna)
In 1987, an amusement park opened in Hamburg, West Germany, where all the attractions and games were also contemporary art: a carousel by Keith Haring, a glass maze by Roy Lichtenstein, a multicolored arch by Sonia Delaunay. The pieces were then stored and forgotten in shipping containers for 36 years. Surprisingly, the park has been reassembled at Ace Mission Studios in downtown Los Angeles and is now open. 1601 E. 6th St., Los Angeles. lunaluna.com
