The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, co-founded by filmmaker George Lucas and Mellody Hobson, is set to open its doors in Los Angeles. Hobson spoke with "GMA" co-anchor Robin Roberts about the new institution.
Mellody Hobson, who also serves as co-CEO of Ariel Investments, discussed the vision behind the museum, which aims to explore the evolution of narrative art. The museum's collection spans a wide range of media, from paintings and drawings to digital and conceptual art, with a particular focus on storytelling.
The project, a long-gestating endeavor, has been a passion for Lucas, the creator of the "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" franchises. The museum's architecture and its integration into the surrounding Los Angeles landscape have also been key components of its development.
The museum's opening marks a significant cultural addition to the city, offering a unique space dedicated to the art of storytelling across various forms and eras. Further details about its exhibitions and programming are expected to be released.
