Repeat: Hidden hat closet. On the one hand, we want a secret closet for hats, while on the other...yeah, we want that closet.
In honor of the 75th anniversary of The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins, roughly a dozen personal hats of Dr. Seuss's will be on display at the New York Public Library, including some of the below.
The hat that inspired "Cat in the Hat."
