and the museum is designed to delight. main gallery is up a long escalator, and the first piece visitors will see is a sculpture by jeff koons. >> this is one of our favorite pieces. david: he is one of the broads favorite artists. they own his works more than any other collector. what sets them apart is how much time they have spent with the artists whose work they collect. >> i was always interested in how people thought outside of the world of business because i was spending all my time with business people, lawyers, and artists have a view of what the world is really about socially and otherwise. broad wants his easy and to be just as eye-opening for visitors. art lovers have flocked to the museum since it opened to the public in september. no tickets are available between now and march, that is how high the demand is. coming up, could we see a big change to good control in the country? what the president may do to get around congress in the new year. ♪ the only way to get better is to challenge yourself, and that's wh

this -- that'say one of the reasons why living history museums, museums in general, are so important. no matter what is happening in society, no matter what choices are being made within a legislature as far as what is going to be taught, living history museums, museums use the actual documentation to tell the story in the way that it needs to be told. as far as what i would suggest to try to get that information out there is to go to those museums, to go online -- we live in a wonderful time when we can connect to someone who is only on the other side of the desk all the way on the other side of the earth and two seconds by pressing a button. i don't know what the possibility is upbringing guest speakers into your classroom through technology in a way that gets that story out there. another thing i would suggest, you have a lot of people who have learned the history, the history has been passed down through storytelling, one of the ways to get those stories out there to get things told and have them come in and tell the story. remembering slavery is a wonderful publication to get. it
