\”This is not a children\’s museum as we know it,\” he said. \”We\’re not just trying to engage the 3-year-old, we\’re trying to engage the 30-year-old and the 60-year-old. We want to give people tools they can take to any museum in the world: What\’s going on in this picture? What do you see that makes you say that? What more do you see?\”
