The $3 Million Museum House With 4,000 Books | WSJ Mansion 

Phenomenal home. I was sad when he said “I don’t want you to bore you to death with the details”. I want to know more!! Amazing architecture and refined taste.

The Capulets were clearly behind that house fire!

What a classy home. Thank you for let us see inside.

This house is so beautiful! The library is definitely my favorite part of the house

This level of wealth and culture is what I strive for.

So strange, on the face of it I wouldn't think of this as my favorite style, but the art and house work so well together I can't help but love it. Beautiful place, thanks for the tour!

I adore this man. He's so cool and smart and humble.

This library reminds me of my home library when I was a child. My elder brothers worked hard to build that library

That library 😲👏 with the almost maze like glass bridges that form the second story. One of those things you see that will ever persist in your mind. So extra, yet so his laid back style at the same time.

It's modern but not cold and impersonal. Gorgeous!

I can only imagine the fascinating dinner conversation about how the art and library were collected!

I've got 2,000 books in my 1100 square foot house. It's cramped.

Honestly this is my dream home 😭

Simply gorgeous, everything talks to one another, well selected art pieces and perfectly placed. Dream home !!!

Whatever insurance policy this guy has, I want it.

What a peaceful and comfortable home. The art is amazing.

the art you own it's absolutely amazing, I'm completely speechless. Well done.

What a wonderful , humble person you are. I loved the African pieces especially the boat full of people. Thankyou for showing your lovely home. May you enjoy every single moment in it .

Great home and great interior design, David. David, you look familiar. I may have seen you or met you at a rare book event or an ethnographic art event in Southern California, where I live and do much of my collecting. If I see you at another such event, I'll be sure to say hello.

0:12 best art piece in the entire house

What an amazing collection of African art. I've never seen a collection of African art so similar to mine. Thank you for sharing. If you allow tours, I would love to one day see your collection in person.

I wish that my art gallery here in Jamaica will be as beautiful as this place.

Thank you for sharing your art filled home. It was a blessing to see the pieces that surround the space.

That insurance check must have paid off

Very beautiful & unusual pieces of art. Extremely loved the concept of the house.

Awesome showcase for an amazing collection of artwork!❤️

An obviously very wealthy man of exquisite taste and sensibility, really very impressive to see 👏

I only have 1100 sq feet and yet i work to make my home a library, art gallery, and conservatory: lots of art, lots of books, and lots of plants. This CAN be done on a much smaller scale.

Yes let's pretend the ending was not so awkward.

"BEAUTIFUL" home and art.

Very cool house and guy!

What a beautiful home. Absolutely gorgeous

That is pretty awesome something art with comfortable family living just mixes well if you do it right and that’s what he did perfect balance 😊

Finally!!! A perfect house and home.

Refreshing

I would like to know more about this owner and how he accumulated his wealth . I would love to be able to build such a house ! Thanks

A Beautiful Home!

Coming from NY Town House collection. Yes, he IS RIGHT. This is the Musem house with themes of arts. And my type. I love that Indian weaving in the center wall of dining room. This is TX and wondering how he got so many arts and organized them plus house building in so fast. Impressive enough. Love that museum house esp the light, the wall and the whole architecture design are exactly as THE MUSEM in mini scale. And this is A REAL art collector. I would like to sit here to APPRICIATE each piece of arts that my eyes and brain won't feel bored instead of that tacky NY box house without book wall but MONEY, MONEY STILL MONEY. It shows this owner knows the meanings of life with a fine quality.🙂 Heehaa, TX. Should have some more American Indian arts.

"Wow this house has amazing Architecture."

Very inspiring

I should be sad living in a 40 year old mobile but i do have an acre and a half and get to keep 6 dogs and two horses with 4 cats and a couple birds. THEY and their spirits decorate my home and land….including the hair! I actually do art myself but im not great….its mainly something creative for me and sometimes i do quite well. I am making a copy of one I did for a person who said they must have it! Since it was something special for me when i did it i wanted to keep it. She said can you copy it? No real money. Just materials and posteage and she sent me a printed t-shirt which i will cherish. Its the little things sometimes you know. Sure im jealous im not rich and successful with money to show for it but there is a different kind of richness i am able to embrace. For anybody else who is a green eyed monster like me when i see how some people live. It be nice to have it all!

Note to the homeowner, when you speak about your western art, you refer to the pieces by the artists' names. However, when you speak of your "African" art, it's just "tribal African art". At the very least, you could give the art pieces (and their creators) the respect they deserve, by mentioning the specific countries and cultures in the very vast African continent from which they emerged. Americans and this whole "Africa" thing is weird.

He must be a prof. I am 100% sure even he knew chared wood. Amazing intelligent. Also Welcome to Melbourne, Down Under, please.... a passenger ever lived on Rocky Mt campus 🙂
