Lucas Museum of Narrative Art — Grand Opening Weekend 2026
Whatever art shaped you was probably not hanging in a museum. It was a comic strip page, a storyboard, a paperback cover, a frame of animation you rewound until the tape wore thin — and some part of you always knew that counted, with nowhere to point.
Now there is somewhere. George Lucas spent decades buying that work, forty thousand pieces of it, and then built an argument in Exposition Park: that Rockwell belongs near Monet, that a Miyazaki storyboard deserves the reverence given a Rembrandt sketch, that narrative art has earned a building instead of an apology. The opening galleries hold more than a thousand works across dozens of rooms, inside a structure by MAD Architects that rises out of the ground like it landed there.
It opens in September in Exposition Park, next door to the Natural History Museum and the Science Center, and children get in free.
Take the kid who draws in the margins of everything. Let them see what that turns into.
