After nearly four years of delays, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art on Wednesday announced that it will open Sept. 22, 2026. <\/p>\n

The $1 billion, 300,000-square-foot museum \u2014 designed by MAD Architects founder Ma Yansong \u2014 broke ground in Exposition Park, adjacent to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, in 2018. Originally scheduled to complete major construction in 2021<\/a>, the museum hit its first major setback that same year when health protocols arising from the COVID-19 pandemic slowed progress on the project. In 2022 the museum pushed its debut to 2025<\/a>, attributing the decision to global supply-chain issues that made procuring construction materials difficult. <\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the opening was again delayed, this time to 2026. With a firm date in hand, the museum now has a little more than 10 months to put the final touches on its 100,000 square feet of exhibition space, featuring 35 galleries \u2014 and to install its more than 40,000 works of art, including sculptures, comic art, children\u2019s book and science fiction illustrations and photography. Norman Rockwell, Frida Kahlo, Dorothea Lange and Maxfield Parrish are among the featured artists. There will also be a treasure trove of costumes, props, movie posters and more from co-founder George Lucas\u2019 legendary film career, including the \u201cStar Wars\u201d franchise.<\/p>\n
