At this time, Amer Sloan was concentrating on looking at those paintings, and Zhang Tianyuan didn't want to disturb him, so he chatted with Liu Mengxun next to him, although Liu Mengxun was not particularly proficient in antiques, but she didn't know anything about it, and even some things, she still knew very well, after all, her family used to be in the tomb robbery business, if she didn't understand antiques, it wouldn't be reasonable.

"Mengmeng, according to the people outside, there are more than 20,000 pieces of Chinese cultural relics in the British Museum's collection, but I have inquired, and the actual number is even larger than this, estimated to be 70,000 or 80,000 pieces, and a considerable part of them are in a semi-damaged and unattended state. ”

To be honest, Zhang Tianyuan really can't wait to exchange all the things in the British Museum back, but these foreign devils occupy things but put them there, if this is a few years away, it is estimated that a large number of things will be destroyed.

Why don't these people dare to say the true number of things?

I just don't want to be condemned by the International Cultural Heritage Organization, there were originally 70,000 or 80,000 pieces, and they only said 20,000 pieces, so even if they broke 50,000 or 60,000 pieces, they didn't have to worry about it being known to the outside world.

The British are a good-looking people, after all, they were once the birthplace of the modern industrial revolution, and more importantly, the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets makes them always feel that they are superior, and if they are criticized or condemned, then they are sorry for this lofty position.

They pretend to be gentlemen, so at least on the surface, they must look like gentlemen.

Zhang Tianyuan visited the British Museum yesterday and also saw the China Pavilion. There were a lot of things in it that he liked very much, but he knew it. There are also a large number of good things that are simply not put out, according to Lancelot. Famous paintings like "The Female Historian" are generally not seen, and it is estimated that there may be many similar things, but the outside world does not know about them.

He now had the idea that if Amer Sloan was willing to exchange things with him, he would have to take a good look at the treasures in the British Museum and carefully select what he wanted.

"Well, I've heard about that, the British Museum has the most Chinese antiques in the world. Even if you haven't been there, you have probably heard of it, and many collectors in the circle will always sigh and say that something is in the British Museum when they mention a lot of things. I think you should go there and see it again, even if it's picky, it's better than being confused. By the way, there's one more thing you may not know, World War II. The French were beaten by the Germans and fled to England, and in the process of Charles de Gaulle's return to France, many Chinese antiques in the Louvre were taken back by the British as war trophies. Of course, some of them were snatched by the Americans. These robbers are not just robbing us, they are their own. Also grab. ”

"Who did you listen to about this?"

"My teacher in college said he was French. Speaking of this, it is called a righteous indignation. I can't wait to kill all the British and Yankees, and it's not worse than our angry youth. Liu Mengxun said: "Their ancestors seem to have participated in World War II and are also the curators of a very famous museum, so they only know these things." ”

"Hehe, dog-bite-dog-hair, these robbers. So according to this argument, a lot of the things in the Louvre in Paris have been brought to England?"

"Yes, it's just that many people in the outside world don't know about it, and the French and British also know about it, and only a few people who have experienced these things know. Liu Mengxun nodded.

Zhang Tianyuan of the Louvre Museum is known, it is located in the center of Paris, France, on the north bank of the Seine, was built in 1204, was originally the royal palace of France, and lived 50 French kings and queens.

Now the Louvre Museum, it has a collection of 35,000 works of art, including sculpture, painting, art and craft, and seven categories: Ancient Oriental, Ancient Egyptian, and Ancient Greco-Roman.

On August 10, 1793, the Louvre Museum of Art was officially opened to the public as a museum. Since then, the collection has grown here, not to mention the artistic tributes that Napoleon requisitioned to those conquered countries.

The museum's catalogue includes 400,000 works of art, ranging from ancient Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan and Roman artworks to works of art from the Orient, sculptures from the Middle Ages to modern times, as well as a staggering number of royal curiosities and paintings.

To date, the Louvre has become a world-renowned temple of art.

The most famous of these are the Three Treasures of the Town Palace, "Venus with Broken Arms", "Nika", and "Mona Lisa".

There are also a large number of Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Oriental antiques, as well as ancient relics from France and Italy, with an exhibition area of 55,000 square meters. The transparent pyramid building at the entrance to the Louvre's main entrance is the work of Chinese-American architect I.M. Pei.

Of course, even if the Louvre is so surprising, it pales in comparison to the British Museum.

The British Museum is an encyclopedia of cultural relics!

The Louvre's collection is just over 400,000 pieces, while the British Museum's collection has reached more than 8 million, which is really no other museum in the world that can match it.

Although Zhang Tianyuan doesn't have a good impression of this place, he has to admit that he will feel very shocked when he comes to this place.

Of course, that doesn't hide its bloody history.

The National Museum of England is the oldest and largest comprehensive museum in the world, located in London, England.

It houses many cultural relics and book treasures from all over the world, and the richness and variety of the collection are rare in museums around the world. The collection was mainly looted during the wars waged by England in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Major affected countries include Greece, Egypt and China. Located in the heart of London, the National Museum is a spectacular Roman column-style building. The collection of cultural relics and library materials here is famous in the world.

The National Museum of England was founded in 1753. Officially opened 6 years later, the museum houses many artifacts and treasures from around the world. The richness and variety of the collection are rare in museums all over the world.

The National Museum of England has a collection of more than 8 million pieces. Due to the openness. Originally a collection of books, it later included historical artifacts and ancient works of art from various countries, many of which are the only surviving rare books.

From the 18th century to the middle of the 19th century, the British Empire expanded to the world, plundering the culture of various countries, and a large number of precious cultural relics arrived in London.

The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities is the largest of them. There are more than 70,000 pieces of various cultural relics of ancient Egypt, representing the high civilization of ancient Egypt. A large number of cultural relics in the Museum of Greek and Roman Antiquities and the Museum of Oriental Antiquities reflect the splendid culture of ancient Greece, Rome and ancient China.

Three of the most famous treasures in the British Museum are coveted by any museum in the world.

The first is the Rosetta Stone in Egypt.

The collection is one of the most precious Egyptian artifacts acquired by the British after Napoleon's defeat in Egypt, with a height of 1.14 meters and a width of 0.73 meters, it is a marble stele made in 196 BC, originally a stele engraved with the edict of King Ptolemy V of Egypt.

The stele is inscribed with the same content in Greek, Egyptian and popular scripts of the time.

The inscription is available in three different languages, giving modern archaeologists the opportunity to decipher the meaning and structure of Egyptian hieroglyphs that have been lost for more than a thousand years by comparing the contents of each language version. It became an important milestone in the study of the history of ancient Egypt.

The second is the Elgin marble sculpture of the Parthenon in ancient Greece.

The Elgin marble sculpture is part of the carvings and architectural remnants of the Parthenon in ancient Greece, with a history of more than 2,500 years, and is one of the most famous collections of the British Museum.

Early 19th century. The British diplomat, Earl Elgin, bought the marble architectural decorations and carvings on the Parthenon from the Turkish Ottoman Empire, cut them and shipped them back to England.

In 1816, the British royal family spent 35,000 pounds to buy it and put it in the British Museum. For more than 200 years since then, the Elgin marble sculpture has become one of the museum's most iconic exhibits.

This third piece is "The Female Historian".

The Female Historian is the earliest surviving Chinese silk painting. It is one of the earliest works of professional painters in China that can still be seen, and it is a milestone in the history of Chinese art. It has always been a treasure collected by the court of successive dynasties.

There are only two copies left in the world, one of which is copied by the Song people, which was collected by the Imperial Palace Museum, and the brushwork and color are not of the highest quality. The other is this facsimile from the National Museum.

It was originally collected by the Qing Palace, and it was the desk favorite of Emperor Qianlong, hidden in the Old Summer Palace. In 1860, when the British and French forces invaded the imperial capital, the British captain Ji Yong stole it from the Old Summer Palace and took it abroad. In 1903, it was collected by the National Museum of England and became the most important oriental cultural relics in the museum, and it is not an exaggeration to call it "the treasure of the museum".

The facsimile is stored in the Stein secret room in the museum, and it is reported that the director of the art research office of the Dunhuang Studies Research Center of Jinling Normal University happened to see this facsimile in the secret room in 2002, when there was only a record in the register that two Japanese people came to copy it on the spot in the 20s of the last century.

In other words, there are very few people who have really seen this "Female History Atlas".

When Zhang Tianyuan visited the British Museum yesterday, he saw the first and second treasures of the museum, but it was a pity that he did not see the "Female History Atlas".

Now he had a question before him, was the one in the British Museum real, or the one in Helis's possession, or was it just one at all?

Anyway, no matter where it is put is true, Zhang Tianyuan vowed to get this thing this time this time, otherwise it would be too sorry for the ancestors.

In the past, he didn't have the ability to think about it, but now it's different, now he has the ability, the ability, and the money, if he doesn't get these things home, then he feels like a bag. (To be continued......)
