George Lucas revealed he intended to continue making Star Wars movies before shifting his focus to the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. He did not detail what those future films would have involved, only confirming the plan existed at one point.
Chinese architect Ma Yansong and his firm MAD Architects have completed the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, a large-scale building in Los Angeles's Exposition Park designed to house filmmaker George Lucas's art collection. The project marks the most high-profile commission yet for Ma, known for sculptural, futuristic designs that go beyond conventional museum architecture.
George Lucas and Mellody Hobson unveiled the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art to press and invited guests in Exposition Park, Los Angeles, with a public opening set for September 22. The five-story, MAD Architects-designed building cost a reported $1 billion and houses roughly 1,300 objects across 33 galleries totaling 100,000 square feet, spanning cave paintings to comics and Star Wars-related material.
George Lucas's long-delayed Museum of Narrative Art has opened after being shopped to three different cities over 16 years and costing roughly $1 billion to build. Early reviews of the museum, which houses Lucas's personal collection of illustration and film art, are decidedly mixed.
