Overview
- George Lucas and Mellody Hobson’s institution will debut in Exposition Park on an 11‑acre campus anchored by a 300,000‑square‑foot building.
- Thirty‑five galleries totaling 100,000 square feet will present more than 40,000 works spanning illustration, comics, painting, photography and film artifacts.
- The museum will house the Lucas Archives, including models, props, costumes and full‑scale Star Wars vehicles alongside posters and concept art.
- Designed by Ma Yansong of MAD with landscape by Mia Lehrer’s Studio‑MLA, the site adds two theaters, a multi‑level library, classrooms, a restaurant and a public park open without a ticket.
