The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, founded by George Lucas and his wife Melody Hobson, will give residents of its South Los Angeles community free access ahead of the institution’s opening on Sept. 22.
Residents who live in the museum’s 90037 zip code can visit the galleries at no cost with the new LM37 pass. Community members will also be able to visit the museum early at a special Community Preview Day on Sept. 13.
“We’re very aware that as exciting as the project is, we’ve been here eight years building down in South Central and in Exposition Park,” museum CEO Tracey Bates told me Thursday morning. “We wanted to make sure our direct neighbors had access all the time to be part of our true community, to be part of the museum membership in a way, and to be the first to get the previews for something that we’ve been building in their neighborhood for the last eight years.”
