It will be more than a “Star Wars” bonanza when the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art opens to the public Sept. 22. The highly anticipated $1-billion museum on Thursday announced about 20 inaugural exhibitions curated by George Lucas across more than 30 galleries — and only one is related to cinema, with a focus on “Star Wars” memorabilia, including large-scale vehicle installations, production designs, props and costumes.
The full scope of the 1,200-plus objects will only be revealed when guests step through the museum doors into more than 100,000 square feet of gallery space on the first day of fall.

With more than 1,200 objects total, the installations will span more than 30 galleries and occupy approximately 100,000 square feet of the museum which aims to “honor the universal tradition of telling stories through images.”
Drawn from the museum’s founding collection, the exhibitions aim trace the evolution of human culture through storytelling, from ancient sculptures of gods and goddesses to Renaissance paintings to photographs, comics, and modern cinema, including props and costumes from the Lucas Archives.

When the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art finally opens in Los Angeles on 22 September, visitors will be treated to a suite of 18 thematic exhibitions curated by George Lucas, the Star Wars film-maker who founded the museum with his wife Mellody Hobson. The inaugural lineup of shows, revealed by the museum on Thursday (30 April), offers a fuller picture of the institution’s collection and how the concept of “narrative art” will manifest on its walls.
The exhibitions will bring together more than 1,200 objects installed across more than 30 galleries spanning around 100,000 sq. ft. Some of the exhibitions will be devoted to specific media, disciplines and genres of art like photography, architecture, cinema and stories of the American West, while others take on particular narrative formats or subcultural categories like children’s stories, manga and anime, and comics and graphic novels. Still other shows will be broadly thematic, like History, Everyday life (further broken down into topics like “Community”, “Love”, “Motherhood” and “Sports”) and Narrative forms (including subsections on adventure, fantasy, romance and science-fiction).
