Chapter 995 Foreign Experts

The Grand Canal Museum is a cylindrical building with a radius of about 40 meters. The area of ​​one floor is about 5,000 square meters, two floors underground and four floors above the ground.

After entering the museum gate, there is a large room about thirty meters long and fifteen meters wide. This is the isolation area of ​​the museum.

On both sides of this isolation area are stairwells and elevators, but the stairwells and elevators here can only go down and not up. There are dedicated people to guard them, and there are two fully enclosed stainless steel fences separated from the isolation area. At the other end of the hall on the first floor, there are also stairwells and elevators. After tourists visit the first floor, they can go upstairs from the stairwells there or take the elevator upstairs to continue their tour. Once the tour is completed, they can go downstairs from these two stairwells in the isolation area and then go directly from the exit.

There are ten large password storage lockers near the wall in this isolation area. According to regulations, tourists cannot carry packages or other things when entering the museum. These things need to be stored in these storage lockers.

On the other side of the isolation area are fifteen security doors. On the inside and outside of each security door, there is a security guard wearing a uniform holding a metal detector for inspection.

Visitors who want to enter the museum must pass one of these fifteen security gates, and then pass the security inspection before entering the museum for a visit.

After leaving the security door of the isolation area, there is a huge welcome wall with a few golden words "Grand Canal Museum Drinks You". In front of this welcome wall is an isolation area with a radius of about five meters. The periphery of this area is separated by a stainless steel fence. Four armed police soldiers with guns and live ammunition stands inside the stainless steel fence, and two large, two small and four bulletproof glass cabinets.

Among the two, there are two "mountains of gold and silver" in the large bulletproof glass cabinets on both sides!

These two mountains of gold and silver were built by Yang Jing with the gold and silver ingots in Mu Tianbo’s treasure. They are pyramid-shaped and about two meters high. Under the illumination of spotlights, they exudes the unique charm of gold and silver.

In the two small bulletproof glass cabinets between these two mountains of gold and silver, there is a jade seal and four skull fossils.

The four armed police did not protect the two mountains of gold and silver, but the jade seal of the imperial seal and the skull flower stone of the Beijing/Beijing/human skull.

The isolation area in front of the welcome wall is large enough, and it is an import from the museum, so tourists who come in can see these two mountains of gold and silver, the imperial seal and the four skulls of the Beijing/Beijing/human skulls at first glance.

The two gold and silver mountains just as soon as you enter the door are enough to make people amazed. These are the authentic Ming Dynasty gold and silver ingots. Not to mention the value of gold and silver themselves, just this heavy history is enough to greatly increase the value of these two gold and silver mountains.

As for the imperial seal and the skull flower stone of the North/Beijing/Human Skull, let alone, it is the most attractive treasure to maintain the country.

Therefore, even if the area outside the welcome wall and the security door is large enough, it will become the place with the most tourists. If it weren't for dozens of security guards maintaining order, it would have been a mess here long ago.

However, there are enough security guards here. Under the guidance of security guards, many reluctant tourists can only slowly divert to other exhibition halls.

The four floors of the entire Grand Canal Museum are divided into ten exhibition halls, namely the Western Art Hall, the Miscellaneous Hall, the Jade Hall, the Furniture Hall, the Stele Hall, the Calligraphy Hall, the Ancient Painting Hall, the Ceramic Hall, the Document Hall, and the Gold and Silver Hall.

Because the first floor involves the entrance, exit and office area, there is only one Western art exhibition hall on the first floor, while the other nine exhibition halls are distributed on the second floor, third floor and fourth floor, with three sittings on the exhibition hall on the first floor.

The Western Art Hall is self-evident, and naturally it is placed with treasures that Yang Jing obtained from several treasures abroad, as well as antique artworks that Old Mike bought from all over the world over the years.

The reason why this exhibition hall is arranged on the first floor is that there are a large number of exhibits, and the other is that none of the exhibits displayed in this exhibition hall are not boutique.

The status of the three bronze sculptures is naturally self-evident; Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Cézanne, Angel, Rusbon, Rembrandt, Monet, Repin... and other series of original works of masters who are familiar to the East are absolutely eye-catching; while Tolstoy, Shakespeare, Hugo... and other series of original works of manuscripts by great Western writers can make people's heart beat faster; there are also the golden emperor armor of the Spanish King Philip V, the golden mask and golden scepter of ancient Egyptian pharaohs, and the scepter held by Caterina when he ascended the throne. Almost never heard of the twelve zodiac Faberre Easter eggs, those gold coins worth dozens or even millions of dollars a gold coin... they are all existences that make people stare out.

Even in the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum or the British Museum, these things are definitely treasures of the museum, which makes all the Chinese who see these treasures breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Back then, Westerners relied on the strength of ships and cannons to steal tens of millions of treasures from our country. Then, the descendants of these robbers placed the treasures they robbed back then on display in major museums. How sad this made the Chinese people.

If you want, or come back or protest, there is no effect at all. Who can't be angry?

But now, those treasures that are regarded as national treasures by Westerners are just placed in this Grand Canal Museum so openly. You can imagine how those foreigners would feel after seeing them.

Among the tourists who came to visit today, there were many blonde and blue-eyed bad guys. Looking at the excitement and frustration of these bad guys, the Chinese tourists around them felt relieved.

In addition to more than 30 female receptionists who specifically explain, the exhibits on display also have interpretation nameplates in front of the exhibits. For example, the nameplate in front of the oil painting "Leda and Swan" by Leda not only tells the visitors that this painting is Leda and Swan in his life, but also says that the painting has been missing for hundreds of years and is now treasured in the Uffizi Museum in Florence, Italy, just a later imitation.

But even that imitation is priceless, let alone this original work of Leonardo da Vinci, its value is definitely not inferior to the painting "Mona Lisa's Smile". After all, this painting is Leonardo da Vinci's favorite painting.

Tourists in China may not know the value of this painting, but thanks to the information explosion, domestic tourists are very clear about the status of Da Vinci in the Western art world. The authentic works drawn by such figures of the leader level are absolutely of great value.

Among the tourists who came to visit today, there were many foreign cultural relics experts. When they saw this painting, their eyes almost popped out.

They have no way of knowing whether it is the original, but experts like them can feel the artistic conception of this painting. There is also an oil painting next to it that has never been heard of. The nameplate says that this painting is also a genuine work of Leonardo da Vinci.

The recognized result is that Da Vinci has painted 22 oil paintings and 2 murals in his life, but these are all preserved works and imitations based on the original works. But no one knows whether Da Vinci has other paintings.

If this oil painting, called "Portrait of the Sculptor", is really an original work created by Leonardo da Vinci, then its archaeological value is really difficult to measure.

Similar to this unheard of "Portrait of the Sculptor", there are many in this exhibition hall, such as Raphael's two oil paintings, which had never been heard of before. You should know that Raphael was a prolific painter. In his short thirty-seven years of life, most of which were lost, and only 114 paintings are still available. The two oil paintings exhibited here have never been heard of before. If this is really the original work of Raphael, its value is incalculable.

There are many such situations in this exhibition hall. The more than a dozen oil paintings have stunned these foreign experts, and when they see the three bronze sculptures, they are almost completely stunned.

It is estimated that these foreign experts just wanted to see the most precious treasure of the country, the imperial seal of China, but they did not expect that such a large-scale small museum could see so many treasures.

That's right, for foreigners, apart from the imperial seal and the heavy objects of Beijing/Beijing/Human Skull and Flower Stone, there are not many things that can arouse his interest. But they just saw the treasures that cannot be seen even in the Western world.

For them, antique artworks in the Western world are the most precious, and this small museum has suddenly exhibited so many antique artworks that have never been heard of before. Are these foreign experts just as crazy?

Therefore, they didn't even have the intention to visit the exhibits upstairs, and hurriedly found a female receptionist who was specifically explained and asked to meet with the museum's director.

Foreign friends asked, but the receptionist naturally would not refuse. So in the office, Yang Jing and Wang Jiazan met more than a dozen blonde and blue-eyed foreigners.

These foreigners are very smart. They are all experts in the industry. Naturally, they know that since these exhibits can be placed here for exhibition in a grand manner, the origin is naturally fine. At least these exhibits are not stolen goods, because even they have never heard of the names of these exhibits, and no one in museums or private collectors in the Western world called the police to say that they had lost anything.

So, they just want to know whether these unheard exhibits are genuine or not.

Yang Jing had been prepared for this kind of problem.

"If you want to know if these exhibits are genuine, you can ask experts from your respective countries to come and identify them. I personally welcome cultural relics experts from all over the world to identify these treasures. But what I can tell you is that these treasures are all real!"

As soon as these words were spoken, more than a dozen foreign experts immediately took out their cell phones and started making phone calls. Because photography is prohibited in the museum, Yang Jing also took out the high-definition photos taken in advance for them to take, and then sent them back to their country.
