George Lucas and Mellody Hobson want their massive spaceship of a museum to be an experience.
Across 300,000 sq ft (27,000 sq metres) and 11 acres (4.5 hectares) of park space, there is a lot to take in. Staring up at the 90-foot (27.4 metre) oculus four storeys above the entrance plaza makes one feel like a speck in the galaxy.
Instead of trying to conquer everything at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art on the first visit – there are more than 1,300 works – maybe focus on some of the highlights below. You are guaranteed a good time if you aim to simply walk around the striking building, designed by Chinese architect Ma Yansong and his firm MAD, and view a mishmash of masterpieces, children’s illustrations, Star Wars-heavy movie memorabilia and comic strips.
Whoosh up in the glass-tube lifts to the massive fourth floor to begin. It is best to explore the bulk of the galleries when your tank is full. Then head up a floor to see the murals. Take a break at the rooftop Skywalker Grill before heading to the library and grounds.
