lucas museum shifts opening to 2026 with george lucas leading curatorial vision
Briefly

The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, designed by MAD Architects, is set to implement a new leadership structure with Sandra Jackson-Dumont stepping down as CEO on April 1, 2025. This change enables George Lucas, the museum's founder, to directly influence the content direction, while Jim Gianopulos will serve as interim CEO. This restructuring is crucial as the museum prepares for its opening in 2026, a date postponed multiple times, indicating a strategic shift in its curatorial and artistic vision under new leadership.
Sandra's transformative leadership over the past five years has been essential to preparing the museum for its opening. Her dedication to advancing narrative art and realizing our vision has helped lay the groundwork to establish the museum as a vital institution.
This change comes as part of a new organizational structure, which divides the responsibilities of the Director and CEO into separate positions, marking a significant evolution in the museum's governance.
