The suspense has been mounting for months: Who will helm filmmaker George Lucas’ $1-billion art museum under construction in Los Angeles? On Wednesday the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art announced Sandra Jackson-Dumont as its new director and chief executive officer. The article said she worked eight years at the Met, but the eight-year reference should have described her tenure at the Seattle Art Museum. Realizing the Lucas Museum as an “innovative place of relevance and inspiration” is top of mind, Jackson-Dumont said in an interview. The Lucas Museum broke ground in March 2018 on a bustling site in Exposition Park that will include 11 acres of green space.
