A gigantic, floating structure rises atop a sprawling site in Southern Los Angeles, adjacent to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. At a press preview, the mastermind behind the ambitious project, George Lucas, and his wife, Mellody Hobson, unveiled a museum unlike any other. The museum's mission, according to Hobson, is to celebrate illustrators who often go unnoticed, as they narrate our lives through single images.
The building, designed by architect Ma Yansong, has been a 20-year journey that faced opposition in both Chicago and Los Angeles. Despite the setbacks, the museum is set to open on September 22, marking the culmination of Lucas' vision to honor the "people's art," emphasizing the narratives that connect us all.
