George Lucas plans to build visual storytelling museum

'Star Wars' creator George Lucas wants to build a museum dedicated to visual storytelling in San Francisco that would house an art collection he amassed over more than four decades.
The 69-year-old filmmaker said he has long sought to showcase his collection of 150 years of populist art, which includes illustrations by Norman Rockwell and Maxfield Parrish, comics and digital technology, reported Daily Telegraph.
"At this scale, there's nothing that has ever been done like this," he said.
His art collection began with his first acquisition, an Uncle Scrooge comic book page by Carl Barks, for which Lucas said he paid USD 25.

"As a popular artist, I hit the same chord with people that Rockwell hit, that Michelangelo hit, that the people who painted on caves in France hit. I relate to art more as an emotional experience than as an intellectual experience," he added.
