Summary
Sept. 22 is the public opening date for Los Angeles' Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, with timed tickets priced at $25 for adults and free admission for minors, active-duty military, members and LM37 passholders.
The 300,000-square-foot Exposition Park museum pairs George Lucas film artifacts—such as a Naboo Starfighter, life-size R2-D2 and Industrial Light and Magic pieces—with illustration, comics, photography and fine art.
Works on view range from E.H. Shepard's Winnie-the-Pooh drawings and an 1894 "dogs playing poker" painting to pieces by Frida Kahlo, Ernie Barnes, Dorothea Lange, Rafael Navarro, Diego Rivera and Banksy.
An 11-acre public-facing campus extends beyond the galleries with free park access, outdoor sculptures, a research library and a video installation of Judith Baca's Great Wall of Los Angeles.
