The board of directors for the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art announced Tuesday that the City of Angels will be the site for the $1 billion facility that will house George Lucas' personal art collection. The city's Exposition Park will be the home of the futuristic building, which is sure to be a draw for " Star Wars " fans and architecture geeks alike. The project has been years in the making for Lucas who has about 10,000 illustrations and paintings from noted artists as well as memorabilia from his "Star Wars" franchise. In 2014, it was announced that Lucas would build the 275,000-square-foot museum on Chicago's Lakefront. Two years later Lucas announced he would be relocating the project to California.
