Chapter 1574 Public Exhibition

On the second floor of the Metropolitan Museum, there is a small independent exhibition hall next to the European Painting Gallery.

Jason and three Intrepid Explorers employees are working with four or five Metropolitan Museum staff to set up the exhibition!

Raphael's Madonna and Michelangelo's Lamentation of Christ, as well as several other top-notch antique artworks, have been removed from the boxes and leaned against the wall.

Mattis stood at gunpoint with several armed security guards in front of these priceless antiques, on high alert at all times, protecting them.

Since the booth had not yet been set up and the interior light had not been adjusted to the best condition, the top antique artworks were not revealed, and were still packed in sealed bags.

Even so, many of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's senior executives, antique art appraisal experts, and staff in the exhibition hall never left those treasures, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot.

On the other side, Thomas, director of the Metropolitan Museum, was briefing Ye Tian on the exhibition and various security measures for this exhibition hall.

"Steven, this is an independent exhibition hall where we are, there are no windows on all four walls, only one entrance and exit of the exhibition hall door, and natural light cannot penetrate at all.

These top-notch antique works of art from Napoleon's treasures have been sleeping in the dark for more than 200 years, and are still a little fragile and not very adaptable to the outside world.

That's why we chose this place as the first exhibition hall to exhibit these top-notch antiques, preserving as much of their priceless antiques as possible.

The lighting system, air conditioning system, ventilation equipment, etc. in this exhibition hall have been replaced in time, and all of them have been replaced with the most advanced equipment available today.

Here, the light is controlled, the temperature and humidity are precisely controlled, and we will provide the perfect conditions for the exhibition according to the conditions of the top antique artworks.

The wall in front of us is facing the door of the exhibition hall, and you can see it as soon as you enter the hall, the location is excellent, and it is the most important display wall in the entire exhibition hall, which is beyond doubt.

The left one on the left will be used to display Raphael's Madonna, and the right one will be used to display Michelangelo's Christ in Lamentation.

At the same time as the introduction, Thomas was also dancing and gesturing, looking very excited.

Ye Tian looked at the wall in front of him, then turned his head to look at the main entrance of the exhibition hall behind, then nodded with a smile and said:

"That's right, this wall and these two booths are really good, and visitors who come here can see these two booths at a glance as soon as they walk into this exhibition hall.

It is obviously fitting that Raphael's Madonna and Michelangelo's Christ of Mourning are displayed here, and these two golden displays are very much in line with their value and status."

Thomas nodded slightly, then proceeded to the introduction.

"As you can see, there are two layers of bulletproof glass with high transparency on the outside of the two gold showcases, which not only does not affect the visitors, but also provides very reliable security.

These bulletproof glasses are extremely strong enough to withstand the close-range fire of automatic rifle bullets, and other weapons, such as fire axes, cannot resist these bulletproof glasses for a short period of time.

What's more, the display shelves behind the bulletproof glass have an automatic lifting function, and under the two display booths and inside the walls, two titanium alloy safes are hidden.

Once the bulletproof glass is attacked or someone tries to cut it, the display shelf inside will immediately sink, and the displayed artwork will be quickly retracted into the titanium alloy safe.

The two titanium safes hidden in the walls are not only very strong and difficult to cut, but they are also very firmly connected to the wall and the floor.

In this way, even if a robber is lucky enough to break into this independent exhibition hall, it is impossible to succeed in a short time, they can only stand in front of this wall and sigh!

In addition, the walls where the two titanium safes are located also have a miniature fire protection system, which can effectively resist the invasion of fire in a short time.

Steven, according to the agreement, after the completion of the exhibition, these two display positions will be completely locked, and they can only be opened if the two of us are present at the same time and enter the fingerprint password.

It is no exaggeration to say that these two security display systems are as high as the one that the Louvre equipped with for the Mona Lisa, if not surpassed.

Also, this exhibition hall is located in the center of the second floor of the museum, and anyone who wants to enter this exhibition hall must first enter the museum, and there is no way to make an idea on the outer wall of the exhibition hall."

At the same time that Thomas was gushing about his introduction, Ye Tian had secretly turned on the perspective and saw the wall in front of him and the mechanism in the wall clearly, nothing was missed!

As Matisse explains, these two small security display systems are very advanced and robust, with few loopholes!

The lifting mechanism connected to the display stands, the two titanium safes that are integrated with the wall and floor, and the miniature fire protection system are all in top condition and completely new!

After thoroughly looking through the wall in front of him and finding that there were no problems, Ye Tian retracted his gaze with satisfaction and ended the perspective.

Immediately afterwards, he said to Thomas:

"Thomas, tell us about the other security measures in this showroom, I'm interested"

"Okay, Steven"

Thomas nodded in response, and then continued his introduction.

"As soon as we reached an agreement with you on loan, we renovated the showroom's security system as quickly as possible, eliminating all obsolete equipment and replacing it with state-of-the-art equipment.

Not only are there state-of-the-art and secure display systems, but they are also filled with infrared and thermal surveillance equipment, motion capture systems, and other security systems that I can't even name.

It is no exaggeration to say that when the day's exhibitions are over and the museum is closed, even a mouse that burrows into the exhibition hall will not escape the eyes of the museum's security personnel.

In addition to state-of-the-art high-tech security systems, the showroom will also be staffed with the best security personnel, who will be available around the clock without interruption.

If there is an incident here, the museum security personnel will arrive as soon as possible, and the nearby Uptown Manhattan Police Department will also arrive here within 10 minutes,......"

Next, Thomas went on to explain the security measures for this independent showroom, and the introduction was very detailed.

During this period, Ye Tian turned on the perspective several times and secretly took a thorough look at this independent exhibition hall.

As Thomas says, the security of this independent showroom is so complete and tight that there are hardly any loopholes.

After Thomas's introduction, Ye Tian immediately said:

"I am very satisfied, Thomas, that you have arranged it in such a thorough and almost impeccable manner, and that I am much more relieved about the exhibition of the two paintings by Raphael and Michelangelo.

According to the previous agreement, I will send two security personnel and two company employees to take turns to come here during the public exhibition period to cooperate and supervise the exhibition activities for the next period of time."

"That's no problem, Steven, since we've reached an agreement, of course we have to follow the agreement"

Thomas nodded in response, but a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, a staff member of the Metropolitan Museum in his thirties suddenly walked over and said excitedly to Ye Tian and Thomas:

"The preparations are complete, there are no problems, and the exhibition is ready to be set up"

Hearing this, Thomas's face immediately bloomed with an incomparably bright smile.

"Let's get started, Steven, I can't wait to see Raphael's Madonna and Michelangelo's Lamentation of Christ, they must be very beautiful and stunning"

As he spoke, Thomas looked at the top antique artworks leaning against the wall, his eyes shining, even though the top antique artworks were covered with sealed bags on the outside, and he couldn't see anything!

The rest of the people at the scene were the same, and they all looked over there, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot.

"You're right, Thomas, those two remarkable paintings from the Renaissance are truly beautiful, and their artistic charm is enough to stun the mind!

Just according to the criteria I gave before, turn down the lights in the exhibition hall, and when the lighting conditions are right, you can see Raphael, you can see Michelangelo."

Ye Tian said loudly with a smile on his face, his words were a little sensational.

With that, he stepped out and walked towards the top antique artworks leaning against the wall, his steps unusually brisk.

At the same time, a staff member of the Metropolitan Museum of Art held an iPad and quickly operated on it, and the movements were very familiar.

In the next moment, the lights in the exhibition hall immediately dimmed, but it did not affect people's appreciation of the artwork!

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian carefully opened a black sealed bag, took out the paintings contained inside, and displayed them in front of everyone's eyes.

With his action, the exhibition hall immediately resounded with an exclamation.

"Wow! This is Raphael's Madonna, it's so beautiful."
