Variation of the “They don’t know” meme featuring stick figure drawings of guests at a party. The figure at the left wears a party hat, and text nearby says “They don’t know about the Joel Snyder Materials Collection upstairs in the VRC.” The other figures are drawn dancing, and their heads have been replaced with objects from the materials collection, including a brick, a slide viewer, pigment, and a daguerreotype.
