Founded by ?Star Wars? creator George Lucas, and standing at the gateway to the city?s Exposition Park, the scheme is envisioned as a ?futuristic spaceship? landing on the site?s natural environment.The building?s interior has been designed as an expansive, open cave, flooded with natural light from skylights above. At least $400 million worth of art will be housed in the museum, including over 10,000 paintings, illustrations and movie memorabilia. The first floor and roof will be designated as public areas for visitors to exercise, relax, and ?directly experience nature in the urban environment."

An open city with an inclusive culture, especially innovative buildings, is very important. It is a pleasure to work with the American filmmaker and legend George Lucas on creating a world-class landmark for Los Angeles. We hope that the joint efforts will continue to make Los Angeles the most creative metropolises in the world.
