LOS ANGELES (LoudLabs News) – First pictures from the construction site of “The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.” The $1.5 billion museum is set to open in 2021. Museum co-founders George Lucas and his wife, Mellody Hobson, were in attendance at the groundbreaking ceremony on March 14, 2018. The Lucas Museum was previously proposed for Chicago and before that, San Francisco before coming to Los Angeles. The location is directly across the street from the University of Southern California, where Lucas went to film school. The museum will join a suite of established museums already in Exposition Park. This is the first museum of its kind, with an unprecedented collection that features fine art and popular art from illustration to comics, an insider’s perspective on the cinematic creative process and the boundless potential of the digital medium. The Lucas Museum will be a barrier free museum where artificial divisions between “high” art and “popular” art are absent, allowing you to explore a wide array of compelling visual storytelling. Visitors who might be less inclined to visit a traditional fine art museum will be invited to engage with and relate to art forms they recognize and love. (7 Photos Courtesy LoudLabs News)
