Celebrating The History Of Narrative Art

Here’s a little info about the museum:
For filmmaker George Lucas and Mellody Hobson, co-CEO and president of Ariel Investments, experiencing and collecting art is a shared passion. With decades of collecting between them, they have together assembled a collection that includes everything from American art to popular illustrative, comic, cinematic, and animation art, to contemporary African American works. Lucas, creator of Star Wars and Indiana Jones, also founded the George Lucas Educational Foundation in 1991 to transform K–12 education.
In addition to managing Ariel Investments, Hobson is the former chairman of Starbucks Corporation and also serves as a director of JPMorgan Chase. In 2010, Lucas and Hobson signed the Giving Pledge, committing to dedicate the majority of their wealth to improving education, particularly through the arts. Together, they co-founded the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. “The stories that art tells are often key to understanding a society and its aspirations—whether our own or others,” Lucas has said. “We hope the Lucas Museum will help audiences better understand the world and build toward a more just and empathetic society.”
