The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art has announced ticketing details. General admission will be $25 ($21 for seniors). As expected, children and teens (17 and under) will get in for free, matching an Academy Museum policy funded by George Lucas' Family Foundation. Also free will be active-duty military personnel and EBT cardholders.
These prices position the Lucas in the middle of the pack among admission-charging L.A. museums. The neighboring Natural History Museum charges $18; the Autry is $20; LACMA is $25 ($30 for out-of-state visitors); the Huntington is $29 ($34 on weekends and other peak days).
Tickets go on sale July 21, 2026, at 10 AM Pacific time. The Lucas opens to the public Sep. 22, 2026, but museum members can preview the museum Sep. 5–11. Annual membership is $140.
The Lucas will stay open until 9 PM on Fridays and Saturdays.
Comments
The distinction between the high brow and middle (or low) brow in today's society becomes a big blur, particularly in LA, where ideas of professionalism or sophistication are all over the map.
Micheal Govan is on Lucas's board and LACMA has allowed for some not-too-professional things. Various objects - and not just a work as large as the marble relief of Judgment of Jupiter - are attached to Geffen's walls with metal clamps that the museum's staff made no effort to blend the color of the clamp with a sculpture's stone surface.
Sooie, sooie, Count-ey Museum of Art (said with a southern drawl). lol.
