George Lucas and Mellody Hobson help inaugurate the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles with a prominent opening-night gala attended by major entertainment figures. Reports say the event draws a wide mix of Hollywood and public personalities, including Harrison Ford, Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan, Kim Kardashian, and Robert De Niro, among others.
Ahead of the ceremony and during her remarks, Hobson discusses the mood around the night, describing how Lucas is nervous about turnout. Both outlets frame the evening as a celebratory start for a new cultural institution, with guests taking part in the museum’s first big public moment. While the sources differ in how broadly they list attendees, they converge on the same core elements: the presence of high-profile guests and Hobson’s comments about Lucas’s nerves.
Overall, the coverage focuses less on specific exhibitions at opening and more on the gala atmosphere and the museum’s launch as an institution intended to present narrative art.
