Lucas Museum Opens in LA: A $1B Narrative Art Hub Beyond Star Wars
The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art opened in Los Angeles on September 22, 2026, after a decade of delays. The $1 billion, 300,000-square-foot facility in Exposition Park features 1,300 works from a 40,000-piece collection, blending Star Wars artifacts with fine art, comics, and public installations. While Star Wars props like R2-D2 and speeders are prominent, the museum emphasizes storytelling across media, including works by Frida Kahlo, Banksy, and Dorothea Lange. Admission is $25 for adults, with free entry for minors and LM37 passholders.
