This past weekend at L.A. Comic Con Jessica Alba, Robert Rodriguez, Frank Miller, and Kadir Nelson joined the likes of Guillermo Del Toro, Doug Chiang, Queen Latifah and George Lucas on panel stages expressing full support and endorsement of the LUCAS MUSEUM OF NARRATIVE ART set to open in 2026.

The Museum was founded by George Lucas and Melody Hobson, designed by renowned architect Ma Yansong of MAD Architects and is currently under construction in an 11-acre campus in Los Angeles’s Exposition Park.

Robert Rodriguez on the L.A. Comic Con stage gave high praise to his friend and mentor George Lucas to what is commonly known in the industry as “Lucas Foresight” highlighting the many times Lucas was ahead of the Hollywood curve with his many creations, inventions, and techniques which are all a standard today including Digital filmmaking which Rodriguez’s best known work, SIN CITY fully incorporated into a box office success. Rodriguez did cheekily mention how an impromptu SIN CITY panel was happening with Alba moderating and Frank Miller as one of the panelists. Also Rodriguez revealed the museum would be revolving every 6 months with different art pieces!

“The only museum you are gonna want to go see” – Robert Rodriguez

At both presentations at the two Comic Cons it was emphasized art from all eras from cave paintings, oil paintings, comic strips, watercolor, comic books, sculptures, murals, photography, book and magazine illustrations, and digital media will be on display.

The museum itself is a flowing piece of art comprised of 300,000 square feet of expansive galleries, two state-of-the-art theaters, dedicated spaces for learning and engagement, retail, dining, and events.

On the Comic Con stages the message was clear. This is the people’s art which is for everyone to visit, be inspired, and share in the great experience that is art from all across human history no matter what medium.
