Lucas Museum of Narrative Art

 

There are 30+ galleries and over 1,200 works of art in the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. Here’s your first look inside.

The Lucas Museum explores how artists depict the essential myths that help us make sense of the world and bring us together as a community. These exhibitions feature universal themes like love, family, and adventure, along with collections of manga, comics, and graphic stories that are the first of their kind. Additional galleries spotlight 20th-century artists whose works connect modern imagination with age-old beliefs.

“Its vast collection stretches across more than 100,000 square feet of gallery space, showcasing over 1,200 treasures selected from a founding collection of more than 40,000 works. Die-hard fans of the blockbuster saga can lose themselves among vehicle designs, high-speed racers, soaring ships, props, costumes, and illustrations from the first six “Star Wars” films in the aptly titled exhibition “Star Wars in Motion.” The showcase will feature Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder from “Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope” and the first physical build of General Grievous’ wheel bike from “Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith.””

The $1 billion project, co-founded by legendary Star Wars filmmaker George Lucas and his wife Mellody Hobson, has locked in a grand opening date of September 22, 2026.
