Story summary

The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles opened to the public on Tuesday in Exposition Park, following an extravagant drone light show featuring characters like Captain America and R2-D2 on its opening night. Founded by filmmaker George Lucas and his wife Mellody Hobson, the museum honors visual storytelling through over 1,300 pieces of art from various mediums including magazines, comics, fantasy stories, and motion picture design. While the "Star Wars" franchise is represented with seven percent of the collection, it draws significant attention due to its iconic status among fans. The museum welcomed its first visitors on Tuesday morning, with Lucas and Hobson personally greeting the initial 100 attendees, who were students from several local colleges and art institutions.
