The $1 billion museum will showcase 40,000 works in 35 galleries, including art and items from George Lucas’s film career, with a public park featuring over 200 new trees.
- This Wednesday, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art announced it will open to the public on Sept. 22, 2026, leaving a little more than 10 months to finish work and install the collection.
- After breaking ground in 2018, the museum originally aimed to open in 2021 but pandemic and supply issues pushed the date from 2021 to 2023, then 2025, and finally 2026.
- The building, designed by Ma Yansong of MAD Architects, is a 300,000-square-foot, five-story structure housing 35 galleries and over 40,000 works plus the Lucas Archives.
- The museum’s 11-acre campus includes a public park open from sunrise to sunset, while Oak View Group was named exclusive hospitality partner and questions arose after 15 employees laid off, about 14% of full-time staff.
- Visitors can expect a three-level research library with curved-wood balconies, a main lobby with three glass elevators, and a rooftop garden with unannounced entry points.
