The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is opening in Los Angeles, showcasing a vast collection of creative work. While "Star Wars” fans will find familiar pieces, the museum focuses on a broader range of art collected by George Lucas. It aims to elevate populist painters, commercial illustrators and comic artists to the status of fine art. The museum features works from Lucas's personal collection, including paintings by Norman Rockwell and Maxfield Parrish. Galleries are organized by themes like sports and civic activism, rather than by artist or era. The building is designed by Ma Yansong and resembles a floating cloud or tree canopy.
