FathomHQ's Top Links: Banksy's Dismaland & More (Aug 22, 2015)
What we're clicking on and talking about this week at #FathomHQ.
If you're anywhere near Bristol, England this summer, you need to check out Dismaland, Banksy's biggest project yet. Poking fun at that other amusement park we all love to hate, the "bemusement park" is open till September 27, and tickets are only £3. – Becky, editorial assistant
The pricey suitcase industry is about to meet its match with the November launch of Away, a direct-to-consumer line of suitcases modeled after Warby Parker. – Berit, editor
Elsewhere in England, I'm dying to visit the Ballerby & Co. Globemakers studio one day. Till then, I'm getting my 3D-map-making fix on their blog and Instagram feed. – Becky
Thoughtfully edited Brit magazine The Gentlewoman released its profiles on interesting women all over the world (Ava DuVernay, Tilda Swinton, Vivienne Westwood, Marlene Dumas) as one large digital archive. – Jeralyn, editorial director
Zoo Zajac, a pet store in Duisburg, Germany, is twice the size of the White House and is filled with 3,000 different animal species. You can spend a Saturday walking around the menagerie (along with thousands of other visitors) with a coffee and currywurst. – Jeralyn
