Pharrell’s infamous Grammys hat will soon be displayed in a museum, because great hat moments in history are rare and worth commemorating. Revealed by Arby who purchased the iconic chapeau earlier this year for more than $44,000 and will lend it to the Newseum in Washington, D.C., until late October.
On the Newseum’s website they talk about the cultural relevance of the piece:
The original Arby’s tweet (“Hey @Pharrell, can we have our hat back?”) was retweeted more than 80,000 times, and Pharrell’s good-natured Twitter reply – “Y’all tryna start a roast beef?” – helped the hat go viral. The story caught the attention of traditional media outlets, whose reports on the music awards ceremony the next day frequently mentioned Arby’s and the hat.
