"It's hard to make the museum with the object everybody knows. I mean, when you have a Mona Lisa or something, then you have to go to a museum because you don't have it at home. Everybody has a cravat at home, and so we want to make it so interactive, so visually impressive, with so many Instagram spots to be playful, to be fun, but to be educational as well."
