Art has always served as a vision into the past, but is that vision ever accurate and truthful? Or is it all simply propaganda? Together with Art Muse guide Hannah Blechman, we'll examine the narrative presentation of historic events at the newly opened Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. From large-scale paintings of romanticized heroic military crusades to intimate views of the prideful cowboy among lonely vistas, this tour will ask you to question what you see and what you're being asked to accept as true.
