George Lucas unveils Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles
–
Neutral summary
George Lucas on Wednesday gave reporters a first look inside his long-awaited Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles, which opens to the public on September 22. The $1 billion project, built with his wife Mellody Hobson, spans about 9,300 square meters of galleries. Lucas said the endeavor nearly broke him: “I’m used to doing the impossible. This one almost broke my will.” While Star Wars memorabilia is a highlight, it accounts for only 7% of the museum, which also showcases comics, commercial illustration, children’s art and folk painting, alongside works by Banksy.
