Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, Art museum in Exposition Park, Los Angeles, United States.
The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is an art museum in Exposition Park, Los Angeles, dedicated to visual storytelling. The facility holds galleries for paintings, photographs, films, and digital works spread across a large covered area.
George Lucas and Mellody Hobson founded the institution in 2014, choosing Los Angeles after considering San Francisco and Chicago. Construction began afterward and will eventually open to the public.
The name refers to storytelling through visual forms, a tradition found in comics, illustrations, and movie posters displayed inside. Visitors can trace how narratives take shape through images across different media.
The site lies near the University of Southern California and offers learning studios, screening rooms, and dining options. A park of roughly 4,5 ha (11 acres) surrounds the complex and invites walking.
The Separate Cinema Archive preserves around 37,000 items documenting African American film history, including materials on Dorothy Dandridge and Duke Ellington. Visitors can gain insight into this often overlooked chapter of cinema.
