Anticipated Opening of Lucas's Narrative Art Museum

The long-awaited unveiling of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is scheduled for September 22nd, signaling the culmination of over ten years of planning and development.

This cultural hub will showcase a vast array of over 40,000 narrative art pieces, ranging from vibrant murals and engaging comic book illustrations to valuable cinematic items. Notably, it will house the Lucas Archives, a treasure trove of models, props, conceptual artworks, and costumes from George Lucas's celebrated film career, including expected Star Wars artifacts.

While special attention might initially go to Lucas's cinematic memorabilia, the museum's broader focus will celebrate storytelling through visual arts. Spanning 35 galleries, visitors can explore diverse themes such as familial bonds, childhood experiences, the excitement of sports, and adventurous tales. The collection boasts works by prominent artists like Norman Rockwell, Frida Kahlo, and Jack Kirby.

Established by the collaboration of George Lucas and Mellody Hobson, once the chair of DreamWorks Animation, the museum finds its home in the bustling Exposition Park in Los Angeles.
