The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art has been over a decade in the making, but its opening day is finally in sight. It’s officially less than a year away on September 22nd, 2026.
The museum will include over 40,000 works of “narrative art,” ranging from murals to comic book art and, of course, cinematic artifacts. Among those are the Lucas Archives, “containing models, props, concept art, and costumes from Lucas’s filmmaking career,” which presumably includes at least a few Star Wars relics.
It sounds like Lucas’s filmmaking memorabilia will be just a small part of the museum, which is dedicated to illustrated storytelling broadly. Its 35 galleries will include themes like family, childhood, sports, and adventure. The work featured in those galleries includes some big names like Norman Rockwell, Frida Kahlo, and Jack Kirby.
The museum was co-founded by George Lucas and Mellody Hobson, former chair of DreamWorks Animation, and is located in Exposition Park in LA.
