George Lucas has been trying to build a museum to house his extensive collection of art related to cinema history for almost a decade. Now, his vision will be realized.
After a long deliberation, Lucas Museum of Narrative Art will be built in Los Angeles rather than San Francisco, Lucas' primary place of residence and the headquarters of Lucasfilm and Industrial Light & Magic. The original museum proposal placed it in the Presidio, a historic San Francisco location for which Lucas was unable to negotiate real estate rights. Lucas also tried unsuccessfully to build the museum in Chicago.
