The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art has been more than a decade in the making, but opening day is finally around the corner. September 22, 2026 is officially less than a year away.
The museum will include over 40,000 works of “narrative art”, ranging from graffiti to comic book art and, of course, cinematic artworks. Among them are the Lucas Archives, “which includes models, props, concept art and costumes from throughout Lucas’s filmmaking career,” which presumably includes at least some star wars remains.
It looks like Lucas’ filmmaking memorabilia will be a small portion of the museum, which is largely dedicated to illustrated storytelling. Its 35 galleries will include themes like family, childhood, sports and adventure. Works shown in those galleries include some of the biggest names like Norman Rockwell, Frida Kahlo, and Jack Kirby.
