Just days before the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art opens to the public, co-founder Mellody Hobson has stepped down from the board of directors of Los Angeles Olympics organizing committee LA28, Variety has confirmed.

Hobson indicated that the demands of overseeing the Lucas Museum, which opens Tuesday after a Friday gala, were too great to continue serving on the board, according to an email reviewed by LAist. Business executive Hobson is co-founder of the museum with her husband George Lucas.
