The exhibition was visited by tens of thousands of people, and one couple got married there. Kraft began his collection 25 years agone. "When I finally decided to let it become it became much more about throwing a grand bon voyage party to those magical artifacts than most making projections near their worth," Kraft said."I'm nonetheless in a state of shock that Dense, Jose the talking parrot, and trash cans from Disneyland could brand me feel as if I won the lottery." A portion of the proceeds from the auction will become to two organizations benefitting children with Coffin-Siris syndrome, a genetic disorder that Kraft's four-year-old girlDaisy suffers from.
