John Lasseter

Former chief creative officer of Pixar, whose principles of storytelling have shaped modern animation.

Celebrating the enduring legacy of "Star Wars," the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is set to launch its groundbreaking exhibition, "Star Wars in Motion." This highly anticipated showcase, opening on September 22, will delve into the iconic modes of transport that have captivated audiences across George Lucas’ initial six cinematic installments, ranging from swift landspeeders to imposing starships and General Grievous' distinctive Wheel Bike.

The museum's grand opening on September 22 will feature more than thirty distinct installations, with "Star Wars in Motion" taking a prominent role within the inaugural Cinema exhibition. Curated by visionary filmmaker George Lucas and his wife, Mellody Hobson, these exhibits draw from the museum's extensive foundational collection. They aim to illustrate the rich tapestry of human culture through visual storytelling, spanning diverse artistic expressions from ancient sculptures to modern-day cinema, including Renaissance masterpieces, photography, comics, manga, and anime.

This ambitious endeavor promises to transform a vast 100,000 square feet of gallery space into an immersive journey, housing over 1,200 artifacts across more than 30 galleries. Visitors will explore various themes, including architecture, civic life, and historical narratives, alongside genre-specific presentations focusing on Westerns and children's literature. The museum will also highlight the contributions of renowned artists like Frank Frazetta, Normal Rockwell, N.C. Wyeth, and Jesse Willcox Smith, among many others, offering a comprehensive and engaging exploration of narrative art's profound impact on our world.

The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art stands as a testament to the power of storytelling, inviting visitors to embark on a journey through imagination and creativity. By showcasing the evolution of narrative forms and celebrating the artists who shaped them, the museum inspires a deeper appreciation for the visual arts and their capacity to connect us across generations and cultures. It embodies a forward-looking vision, encouraging viewers to recognize the universal human desire to tell and experience stories, fostering a sense of wonder and shared humanity.
