The galleries bring illustration, comics, photography, murals and cinema into a shared conversation. Artists represented include Norman Rockwell, Jessie Willcox Smith, Maxfield Parrish, Frank Frazetta, Frida Kahlo, Jacob Lawrence, Jack Kirby and Diego Rivera. Themes such as childhood, family, work, civic life and adventure give visitors ways into the collection through familiar experiences. This approach makes the subject of an image a starting point for exploration, alongside its maker and medium. Inaugural gallery themes.
The inaugural cinema exhibition, Star Wars in Motion, focuses on vehicle designs, props, costumes and illustrations from the first six films of George Lucas’s saga. Announced on May 4, 2026, it includes the Landspeeder from A New Hope and the first physical build of the Wheel Bike from Revenge of the Sith. The selection provides a concrete opportunity to examine how imagined movement becomes an object that can be designed, built and filmed. Official exhibition details.
