George Lucas

Founder and funder. George Lucas and his wife, Mellody Hobson, paid for the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which opened in Los Angeles's Exposition Park on 22 September 2026 after years of delays and a move from Chicago. Its collection, largely his own, mixes Norman Rockwell paintings, comic art and children's book illustration with film material. Critics are divided on the high-and-low mix, but the surrounding park is free to all.
