Lucas Museum of Narrative Art
About
The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, founded by George Lucas, opened in Exposition Park on September 22, 2026. Ma Yansong of MAD Architects designed the curvy, spaceship-looking building, and the collection runs from illustration and comics to cinematic art and painting. It shares the park with the California Science Center and the Rose Garden.
Jasmine says
George Lucas's temple of narrative art, a spaceship of a building in Exposition Park, opening September 22, 2026. From illustration and comics to film design, it treats storytelling as art history.
Insider tips
- The building alone is worth the trip: Ma Yansong's curves look like a landing aircraft.
- In the same park as the California Science Center and the rose garden; plan half a day.
- Expect crowds around the opening; early weekday slots are most chill.
