MAD Architects and Stantec are unveiling the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles ahead of its opening later this month. The museum, dedicated to storytelling, is being prepared as a large public venue with extensive gallery space.
Both outlets describe major construction progress on the building’s distinctive exterior. Dezeen reports that workers have installed more than 1,200 curved panels on the “dream-like” structure, emphasizing its spaceship-like form. The museum is planned on a 13-acre site near Los Angeles’ Exposition Park. designboom adds a size figure, saying the facility includes 9,290 square meters of galleries, offering an early look at the interior as the opening approaches.
While designboom focuses more directly on the museum’s gallery capacity and early interior viewing, Dezeen highlights the exterior installation details and the building’s character. Together, the reports align on the museum’s core purpose, location, and the fact that final touches are underway prior to the opening.
