Chapter 1369: Guimei Museum

It was noon when Ye Tian and the others drove back to the hotel.
After having lunch in the hotel and resting for a while, Ye Tian took Betty and drove straight to the Guimet Museum in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, where he was going to pick up his favorite Chinese antique artworks.
The Guimet Asian Art Museum, located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, was established in 1889 by the Lyon industrialist Emile Guimet. It is a famous museum with a history of over 100 years.
At the beginning of its establishment, this museum mainly displayed the religious culture of Egypt, ancient Rome, Greece, and Asian countries.
Later, due to a series of expeditions to different parts of the Far East, the Guimet Museum kept its religious part of ancient Egypt while paying more and more attention to Asia.
In 1945, the collections of French state-owned museums were reorganized on a large scale, and the Guimet Museum had another major change!
Taking this opportunity, the Guimet Museum transferred its Egyptian part to the Louvre, which gave the Asian art part as a gift, and the Guimet Museum became the premier Asian art museum.
Among them, there are tens of thousands of Chinese antique artworks in the collection, ranging from Neolithic jade, Shang and Zhou bronzes to modern antiques, covering a very wide range!
Especially the porcelain collection, which can be called the most overseas museum of Chinese antique porcelain collection!
Through the collection of 10,000 to 20,000 pieces of Chinese porcelain, the Jimei Museum enables people who visit the museum to see the full history of the development of Chinese porcelain!
From the earliest pottery, to coarse porcelain, to celadon and hard porcelain, the Chinese porcelain collection of the Jimei Museum clearly reflects the innovation of porcelain history!
Among the Chinese porcelains in the collection of the Jimei Museum, there are many fine porcelains from the five famous kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty ‘Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun, Ding’, as well as the highly sought after Yuan blue and white porcelains.
In addition to porcelain, this museum also has a collection of thousands of paintings from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, many of which are top art works of great value!
In addition, the collection of Chinese bronzes, ancient jade, and ancient cultural classics in the Jimei Museum are also famous in the field of antique art collection!
The exquisite collections of the Jimei Museum are treasures that Ye Tian covets, and they are also the purpose of his coming to the Jimei Museum.
The only pity is that the Jimei Museum is rather stingy, and only willing to take out 20 pieces of Chinese antique artworks in exchange for the three pieces of Queen Mary's jewelry, which requires Ye Tian to make a choice!
The Regina Hotel is not far from the Jimei Museum. In less than twenty minutes, Ye Tian and the others drove to the entrance of the Jimei Museum.
As soon as he got out of the car, Ye Tian saw a group of people walking out of the museum gate and greeted him quickly.
The two people in the lead, one is an old friend Martinez, and the other is Florent, the director of the Guimet Museum. They have met in New York before, so they know each other!
Behind them, there are several senior members of the Louvre and the Guimet Museum, as well as several antique art appraisal experts, most of whom are familiar faces!
Coming closer, Florent, the landlord, shook hands with Ye Tian first, and said with a smile:
"Good noon, Steven, nice to meet you, welcome to the Guimet Asian Art Museum, you guy has finally come, if you don't come again, we might have to change our mind!"
Ye Tian shook hands with this old friend, and replied with a light smile:
"Florent, good noon, I am also very happy to meet you, New York, it has been nearly a year, your complexion looks very good, it seems that you should be in good health!
The Guimei Museum you are in charge of, I have been longing for a long time. Only this solemn, elegant and ancient building is full of historical charm and artistic charm!
I had some things to deal with before, so I didn't spare time to visit the Jimei Museum. The things were finally done this morning, and I came here immediately!
Fortunately, you did not change your mind, otherwise it would be too regrettable. In that case, I can only exchange with Fontainebleau Palace, where there are also many antique Chinese works of art that make me fascinated! "
Hearing his remarks, many French guys on the scene rolled their eyes, and they all started to complain in secret.
Sure enough, it was exactly the same as in the legend, what a greedy bastard! This is clear and ready to sell, and I don’t even bother to do a little bit of concealment!
Although they were very upset in their hearts, these French guys had nothing to do with Ye Tian, ​​they could only curse a few words secretly, and let out the depressed air in their hearts!
"There's something to do? Steven, did you transport the antique art looted from the Santouan Flea Market back to New York? It's so fast!"
Martinez interjected and asked, still with a painful expression.
"Yes, Martinez, my personal lawyer and representatives of the three major auction houses in New York, have left Paris with the antique art and flew to New York!
But I can’t agree with the term you say about looting. The origins of those antique works of art are all legal and the transaction process is open and transparent. How can it be called looting? "
Ye Tian chuckled and nodded and said, his eyes filled with triumphant expression.
Not looted? What a nonsense!
What you did in the Santouan flea market is the looting of Chiguoguo, never want to deny it!
The Santouan flea market, which has been ransacked by your madly, is now completely shrouded in a gloomy mist. After half a year's work, don't even want to relax!
Many French guys are secretly making complaints again, not to mention how depressed they are!
Next, Ye Tian shook hands with many French guys on the scene, greeted them one by one, and briefly introduced his entourage.
After a few words of greeting, accompanied by a group of French guys, Ye Tian took Betty and Anderson into the Jimei Museum, talking and laughing.
Following them into the museum were Matisse, Taylor and Lisa, and two other security personnel!
The rest of the security personnel stayed outside the museum, keeping a certain degree of alert, sitting in a few Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUVs, waiting, and they can provide support to Ye Tian at any time!
All of what happened at the entrance of the Jimei Museum fell in the eyes of the surrounding pedestrians and tourists, and caused a small commotion!
"I'm not mistaken, did I? The guy who just walked into the museum seems to be Steven's crazy bastard. What did he come to the Guimet Museum for? Isn't he going to looting this famous museum?"
"It's the Steven, but it's obviously impossible to rob the Guimet Museum. This is not the antique second-hand market in Santouan. You can let him ask for it!
I want to say that this crazy should be expelled immediately and let him stay in Paris. Not only will this city be destroyed, it will be looted! "
When the people outside the museum were talking about it, Ye Tian and the others had passed through the museum hall and the ticket gate and formally entered the exhibition area.
Just entered here, UU reading www. uukanshu. Florent, curator of the com Guimet Museum, asked:
"Steven, do you first admire the Chinese antique art in the exhibition area? Or go to the warehouse first to see the stock of Chinese antique art?"
Ye Tian quickly scanned the exhibition area, then smiled and said:
"Let’s admire the antique works of art in the exhibition area first, especially the bronze elephant statue from the late Yin and Shang period. I have been admired for a long time, and I even can’t wait to see that bronze ware right away!
Let's go to the warehouse later to appreciate the antique art in stock, and select the treasures that make me fascinated. There is time. This afternoon, I plan to stay at the Jimei Museum! "
"In that case, come with me. I will take you to admire the famous bronze elephant statue, which is the treasure of our Guimei Museum!"
Florent nodded and said, the facial muscles twitched obviously, it was obviously painful!
Afterwards, the Frenchman took Ye Tian and the others to the exhibition area.
