Imagine Mosaic — Attraction in New York

The Imagine Mosaic is one of the world’s most renowned and revered mosaic and an iconic homage to one of the greatest singer and musician of all time.

Located in Central Park of New York City and designed by a team of artists from the Italian city of Naples, the Imagine Mosaic is a living memorial to John Lennon, one of the greatest artists of the 20th Century and is named after his 1971 hit song, “Imagine.”
