The Parnelli Museum of Art was an art museum built in Theed, the capital city of Naboo[1] by the time of the Battle of Naboo in the year 32 BBY.[2] Included in every tourist guide,[3] the respected museum was located a stone's throw away from the Theed Royal Palace and was built with funds from the ancient noble house of Parnelli, for whom the structure was named. The museum focused on Naboo artists and was dedicated to displaying and promoting contemporary art styles.[4]
It was a circular building with beige walls and a green roof held up by pillars lining the edge of the museum, matching the architectural style of many of the city's other structures. It was located on a street that ran parallel to the Palace Plaza, close to the Triumphal Arch.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
In the current Star Wars canon, the Parnelli Museum of Art was first mentioned in "Theed: Naboo's Capital City," an article in the "Guide to the Galaxy" department of the twenty fourth issue of De Agostini's Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon magazine,[3] which was released on around June 17, 2015[5] Pergola's Bridge was then pictured in canon in the 2016 reference book Star Wars: Complete Locations. It was part of material reprinted[1] from the 2000 reference book Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Episode I, which was written by Kristin Lund, illustrated by Richard Chasemore and Hans Jenssen, and marked the first mention of the museum in the Star Wars Legends continuity.[6]
