5 Must-See Things at George Lucas's New Museum of Narrative Art as It Opens to the Public
The $1 billion museum blends Star Wars memorabilia, Banksy murals and fine art in galleries built from George Lucas and Mellody Hobson’s collection.
- On Tuesday, the $1 billion Lucas Museum of Narrative Art opened in Los Angeles, realizing a 17-year project by filmmaker George Lucas and co-founder Mellody Hobson.
- The project was first conceived for San Francisco and Chicago, reaching initial design phases in both cities before Lucas was, as he put it, "kicked out."
- Visitors can view Frida Kahlo's 1940 "Autorretrato Dedicado al Dr. Eloesser" and Cassius Marcellus Coolidge's 1894 "Poker Game," displayed alongside stenciled murals by British street artist Banksy.
- Architect Ma Yansong designed the billowing structure to hover near the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, creating an "emotional space" centered around a celestial oculus in the dome.
- While the inaugural "Star Wars in Motion" exhibit showcases trilogy vehicles and statuary like "The Hutt Slayer," Lucas emphasizes the museum is a "temple to the people's art.
