Lucas Museum in L.A.: A Bold, Narrative-Art Patronage

George Lucas’s Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles fuses Star Wars artifacts with Frida Kahlo pieces and Garfield panels in a bold cabinet-of-curiosities approach to art, arguing that 'narrative art' can unite high and popular culture. Lucas, who has taken direct creative control after years of planning and failed attempts in SF and Chicago, presents the museum as a Gesamtkunstwerk rooted in his Hollywood ecosystem and reinforced by his wife Mellody Hobson, a move that sparks debate over taste, canon, and the power of patrons in shaping culture.
