The City of Chicago has finally approved plans for the George Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.

First unveiled last November, the plans, by MAD Architects, faced controversy over the looks and the placement, which crowded parking near Soldier Field.

This week, The Chicago City Council voted in favor of approving zoning for the museum.

MAD designed a stone building that includes three levels of exhibitions space...

..., an observation deck for 360-degree views of the city and Lake Michigan, and undulating landscaped interiors that will let visitors gather and lounge.

Construction is expected to start next year.
