About the museum
The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art was co-founded by George Lucas and Mellody Hobson to explore the tradition of storytelling through images, ranging from prehistoric cave paintings to contemporary screen art.
The museum is being built in Los Angeles’ Exposition Park in a 300,000-square-foot building designed by Ma Yansong of MAD Architects in collaboration with Stantec. The building is part of an 11-acre campus that includes a park designed by Mia Lehrer of Studio-MLA.
