Chapter 1159 The J. Paul Getty Museum!
Time soon came the second day!
After getting up in the morning, Zhao Feng washed up and went downstairs with Zhao Xue!
Elecia and Cui Jingxian were practicing morning on the balcony on the first floor. When they saw Zhao Xue and Zhao Feng coming down the stairs, they were all surprised!
Ye Xiner, Yang Zixin, Amina, Song Yinger and others are probably still sleeping soundly now!
Zhao Feng handed over the awakening mission of the others to Zhao Xue!
Originally, Zhao Feng wanted to try the swimming pool!
However, although this outdoor swimming pool is equipped with constant temperature facilities, after a night yesterday, the water temperature is now very low!
So Zhao Feng had to give up!
However, to be honest, it is winter now, and in Beverly Hills, the temperature may not be too cold!
And the lighting of the villa is also good!
The room is quite warm during the day, but the fireplace still needs to be burned for a while at night!
Otherwise, although the designs of various balcony can be closed, the insulation performance is not as good as that of ordinary houses!
So every two or three o'clock in the morning, there will be a little cold!
......
During breakfast!
Sima Hong happened to come over!
Zhao Feng also signaled Sima Hong to sit down and have a meal, but Sima Hong is not polite!
After thanking me, I sat down and ate a little bit!
Halfway through the meal, after discussion, everyone determined what itinerary today!
Song Yinger and Amina packed up their tableware after breakfast!
At about 9:00 a.m., everyone took a bus to their destination today: J Paul Getty Museum | J Paul Getty Museum
The J Paul Getty Museum is complex in structure, designed by Richard Meier, covering an area of 0.75 square miles and 110 acres.
Located in Santa Monica Mountain, the unique design and beautiful environment are all reasons to visit.
The museum was founded by the late oil king, J. Paul Getty. The collection includes artifacts from Greek and Roman artifacts to contemporary art. The center consists of several buildings and a central garden, as well as a restaurant and cafe.
Of course, the reason why Zhao Feng agreed with Sima Hong’s proposal to go to this museum!
The main reason is that Zhao Feng wants to see if there are any domestic cultural relics in this museum!
After all, the history of making a fortune in the United States is very bloody!
...
Because this museum is located in Santa Monica Mountain!
So actually, it's not very far from Beverly Hills!
Before, Zhao Feng and his group had already visited the nearby Santa Monica Beach!
So now I feel a lot more familiar with it when I come here again.
After the convoy arrives at the museum, it needs to park in a paid parking lot, and the museum is open for free. In addition to the parking lot charges, the museum's lunch is also charged!
Free tickets!
This seems to make this museum look taller!
After stopping, everyone came to the station where they took the tram.
Because the museum is on the top of the mountain, you need to take an electric train from here to reach the museum on the top of the mountain.
The J. Paul Getty Museum is commonly known as the Getty Museum, a museum of art in California, distributed in two districts Getty Center in Getty and Getty Villa Getty.
Getty Center is the main museum with artworks including Western art from the Middle Ages to the present.
Walk through the museum's gate and enter the museum!
The first thing I saw was the information service desk in the museum foyer. On this information service desk, there was a slightly fat American middle-aged aunt!
Ye Xiner volunteered to come forward and communicate with the other party!
Her English level is pretty good, and she barely passed the test. When the American aunt spoke, she smiled with a kind heart!
Obviously, this is not the first time she has received tourists like Zhao Feng!
Then the American aunt personally made a visitor's identity card for Ye Xiner. This card is actually very simple, with only simple information such as Ye Xiner's name, age, and gender!
The reason why this visitor ID card is actually used as a simple anti-theft measure!
Although the electronic monitoring system is now very developed, this museum still retains the tradition.
Ye Xiner looked at the museum sign on the identity card and smiled so happily!
Next, Zhao Feng also communicated with the American aunt in person, and then helped everyone get the visitor's identity card!
While waiting for the American aunt to fill in these identity cards!
Zhao Feng's eyes fell on a sculpture in the hall!
The standing statue is called: Standing Woman
Look at this figure that seems to be infinitely lengthened from head to toe!
Zhao Feng saw this statue with only a slight understanding. He guessed that the statue was intended to express the gender inequality that the women in the past were oppressed?
Of course, Zhao Feng is just guessing!
Many of the things made by these artists are very strange!
Some are even disgusting and perverted!
But someone just accepts this, is it strange that you say it is strange?
Walk inward along the stairs!
Soon everyone came to the painting exhibition hall on the second floor that was open to the public!
Most of the exhibition halls are oil paintings by some artists.
Among them, the more famous one is "Spring", which is the work of Dutch artist Lawrence Alma.
There is also "Irises", for example," which is one of several irises paintings by Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh.
Van Gogh was in a mental hospital in 1889 and he had just recovered from the severe attack of mental illness. He began painting iris in the hospital garden, which he felt that this would prevent himself from becoming crazy.
The painting is rich in color, with delicate and varied lines. The whole picture is full of rhythm and harmony, full of fresh atmosphere and vitality. It is called Van Gogh's "one of the greatest works of the Saint-Remy period."
Even though Zhao Feng doesn’t understand the history of the art world, he is still very familiar with the name Van Gogh!
Looking at the introduction next to the oil painting, it mentioned that Van Gogh's signature is in the lower right corner of the oil painting.
After understanding it, Zhao Feng suddenly became interested!
The eyes fell on the lower right corner of this painting "Irises"!
Ye Xiner and Yang Zixin looked at it and immediately came over!
Yang Zixin asked curiously: "Brother Zhao, what are you looking for? Do you think this painting is fake?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Feng glared at Yang Zixin, and then his eyes fell back to the oil painting in front of him that was perfectly protected by glass! The next moment, Zhao Feng noticed the two words in the lower right corner!
"It's really true. This painting should be real!" Zhao Feng subconsciously sighed!
Angelina understands this time!
I also came over to take a look at the signature at the end of the painting!
Of course she understood the introduction on the side, so she came over to search for it.
As a Van Gogh oil painting, this painting must be expensive, but Zhao Feng did not think about buying this painting back!
Although Van Gogh's artistic achievements are very high, Zhao Feng still couldn't appreciate it!
Chapter completed!
