George Lucas museum set to open in Los Angeles in 2026
- The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, a $1 billion project envisioned by Star Wars creator George Lucas and Mellody Hobson, is nearing completion in Exposition Park, Los Angeles.
- Set to open in 2026, the futuristic 300,000-square-foot building, designed by Mad Architects, appears to “float” above the ground with no right angles.
- The five-story museum will house over 10,000 pieces from Lucas's collection, described as one of the world's most significant collections of narrative art.
- Its extensive collection includes comics, illustrations, paintings, photographs, moving images, sculptures, film memorabilia, and cinematic archives such as the Historic Lucasfilm Archive.
- Visitors will find gallery spaces, a 299-seat cinema, a library, dining options, and a rooftop terrace offering panoramic city views, reflecting the museum's aim to celebrate dialogue and inclusivity.
