We all remember how LABUBU became an absolute phenomenon last year. The mischievous, pointy-eared character became a must-have collectible at the speed of lightning. Parents waited in long lines to grab new releases and did anything they could to get their hands on one as stores sold out instantly. If your child was one of those original fans (or is a new one), prepare yourself because the pop-up of all pop-ups is coming to the city this month.
New Yorkers will have the chance to step inside LABUBU’s world when POP MART brings its THE MONSTERS 10th Anniversary World Tour exhibition to Manhattan this summer. The limited-time experience marks the exhibition’s first stop in the United States after drawing crowds in cities including Shanghai, Taipei, Hong Kong, Paris, and Tokyo.

Opening July 17, the exhibition spans more than 6,000 square feet and celebrates the 10th anniversary of THE MONSTERS, the beloved character universe created by artist Kasing Lung.
Visitors can explore nine themed galleries that follow the evolution of THE MONSTERS, from Kasing Lung’s earliest sketches to the global phenomenon the characters are today. Along the way, they’ll see fan favorites like LABUBU, ZIMOMO, and TYCOCO, and get a behind-the-scenes look at how the collection came to life.
The exhibition has already drawn fans around the world, and now it’s making its U.S. debut in New York City, the first U.S. city to host the experience.
The fun doesn’t stop at the exhibition. POP MART is teaming up with Canva to launch a special collection of THE MONSTERS templates, giving fans a chance to create their own digital designs featuring LABUBU and friends.
Exclusive LABUBU Merchandise
For some devout fans, the gift shop may be more exciting than the exhibition itself. After exploring the galleries, visitors can browse a retail shop featuring the full THE MONSTERS 10th Anniversary collection, including collectibles and accessories, while supplies last.
