What exactly do they need money for? To bribe people in museum so they would show their book? It looks like whole project is just big ripoff of idiots who have too much money, like half of project on kickstarter.

Hahaha... ha... ha... Yeah...

No.

I could go into educating you as to what a huge collaboration project this was with most major illustrators from around the world, or how cost going into to creating a museum exhibit, especially a traveling one, but I think it'd be lost on you. It features other names such as Yuko Shimizu, James Jean, Mike Mignola, Quentin Blake, and Glen Keane, but if none of those names mean anything to you, you really have no place criticizing an art project.

Funny thing is we were just studying this project in my class today. The school wants to now create a sort of traveling sketchbook like it to go around the student body.

But if you most know, a good portion of sales for the book goes to charity, so yeah. Those damn money grubbing artist with their damn kickstarters.
