Earlier this year, project directors announced that George Lucas’ Museum of Narrative Art will officially be built in Los Angeles’ very own Exposition Park. This massive $1 billion project is being funded by none other than the “Star Wars” creator himself.

Although San Francisco Bay’s Treasure Island was considered as a potential project site, developers opted towards building in Los Angeles. The futuristic-looking museum will be built on what is now two parking lots on Vermont Avenue south of Exposition Boulevard — the site is just west of the Coliseum and the Natural History Museum.

Previous project renderings originally showed a larger model of the yet-to-be-built Lucas museum, but updated renderings illustrate a more compact version. The design resembles a huge spaceship, and it will be developed by MAD Architects’ Ma Yansong.

According to the presentation, the museum’s tentative layout has five floors that would include several exhibitions as well as amenities.

The ground floor will feature two wings — one for archive space while the other opens up to the lobby, gift shop, casual cafe, and two state-of-the-art cinematic theaters.

The museum’s second and third level will provide office space with lecture halls of various sizes, digital and production editing classrooms, spaces for event rentals, video conferencing for workshops, and a 4,200-square-foot drop-in library.

The fourth and fifth floor will be dedicated to exhibition space in addition to a fine dining restaurant and public roof garden.

This three-year project will start January 2018 with an expected completion and museum opening by 2021.
