A-List Gala Lights Up Lucas Museum Opening Night
George Lucas’s Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles opened with a star-studded gala that blended Hollywood glamour with political heft, drawing Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Katy Perry, Justin Trudeau and many others after Mellody Hobson recalled Lucas’s worry about attendance; the night featured a drone show narrated by Oprah and Samuel L. Jackson, and the cloud-inspired building by Ma Yansong anchors a collection of about 40,000 illustrated works, marking a major milestone for narrative art in LA.
