**************

Looking at the Buddha head placed in the glass cover, Jin Muchen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, such a treasure, if it is put at auction, I am afraid that you will not have eighteen million, and it will be returned in dollars, otherwise you will not want to take it at all.

But now in front of me, it's just a hammer of kung fu, and it's in my hands, and this feeling is just three words: Bei'er is cool!

With a hammer down, there was a bang, and the glass cover was wiped out, and one of the five treasures of Buddhism, which the Museum of Fine Arts Boston was proud of, was thus included in his own pocket!

Jin Muchen continued to look down, but he didn't find another Buddhist treasure!

This Buddhist treasure is the ten famous "Five Hundred Arhats", these ten paintings are the "Five Hundred Arhats" drawn by the famous Southern Song Dynasty Lin Tingqi and Zhou Jichang.

The reason why these ten paintings are listed on the Five Treasures of Buddhism that he stole before is entirely because of its supreme historical and artistic value.

Now it is also one of the treasures of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and its artistic status is not lower than that of Yan Liben's "Emperors of the Past Dynasties" and the paintings of Song Huizong.

Obviously, a few days ago, I saw it here, why is it gone today?

Jin Muchen was suspicious, but after thinking about it again, he was relieved, a famous painting like this, because of its age, needs to be carefully maintained frequently.

Therefore, it is not taken out for exhibition every day, and every time the day comes, the museum will put away these famous paintings and then find a special technician to maintain them. It is quite possible that these ten paintings. It was taken for maintenance.

The thought of missing out on these 10 supreme national treasures. Jin Muchen couldn't help but feel pity, but this pity was quickly forgotten by him.

After all, there are too many treasures in this museum, and if he wants to take them all at once, it must be impossible, just the paintings in front of him, as well as those Buddhist treasures, are enough.

If you take too much. This case is likely to turn from an ordinary museum theft case into a bizarre supernatural case.

At that time, it will not only be the police, the FBI will investigate, and it may even attract a group of paranormal enthusiasts who are well fed and have nothing to do to follow the investigation.

Those guys are notoriously brainy, and the 51st District of the United States was found out by those guys, and if they were targeted, it would be no better than being targeted by the police.

Jin Muchen didn't want to live under the microscope in the future. So he couldn't find the ten paintings, so he could only grit his teeth and admit it.

However, the ten "Five Hundred Arhats" could not be found. In the Oriental section of this museum, there are many other things that can be acquired.

What Sui Dynasty amphora double-handled conjoined slender neck brown glaze bottle, Liao Dynasty gilt silver dragon pattern crown, Yuan Dynasty Jingdezhen kiln lotus pond duck play pattern blue and white plate, all of which can be called national treasures, were all swept away by him and directly packed into the large travel bag he carried.

The method of dealing with these porcelain and gold objects is much simpler than sorting out those ancient paintings, and the methods learned from those French thieves last time happen to be used now.

Put it in a black bag, then fill it with foam balls, and then fix it with tape, which is simple and shockproof, which is really simple and practical.

Soon his large travel bag was almost full, looking at the other treasures that he hadn't been able to take away, Jin Muchen could only sigh with emotion, and could only wait for next time.

In fact, the treasures in this museum are claimed to have tens of thousands of pieces, which is indeed true, but in fact, there are many things in it, which can only be regarded as ordinary antiques, and not every piece is a contemporary boutique.

And the ones that Jin Muchen took away can definitely be called the essence of the era where those antiques are located.

Although Jin Muchen didn't seem to miss those other things, in the end, he could only grit his teeth, endure the pain, and leave the Eastern Ministry.

As for the essence of the Chinese Pavilion in the Oriental Department, he has almost scavenged it, and he has not touched the other parts, such as the Japanese Pavilion and the Indian Pavilion.

Because the things in the Japanese Pavilion here, to be honest, can only be ordinary road goods, because of the relationship between this museum and the Japanese people.

Therefore, most of the good things in the Oriental Department in this museum are Chinese fine antiques that the Japanese help Americans took, and as for the Japanese themselves, they didn't bring a few pieces.

Therefore, Jin Muchen always looks at the things in the Japanese Pavilion, at least he hasn't seen a few things that are better than his chrysanthemum.

If you take it, it will also occupy space, so Jin Muchen didn't do anything about those things.

As for the things in the India Pavilion, not to mention, most of them are mainly Buddha statues, and there are many strange wood carvings, anyway, Jin Muchen can't appreciate them.

In fact, it's not because India doesn't have good things, it's mainly because India has been colonized by the British Empire for hundreds of years, and the good things in their country have long been looted by the British, so although this museum is rich and powerful, it hasn't been able to get too many Indian antiques.

After the Oriental Department is finished, of course, you have to go to the Western antique area to have a good turn.

In other words, there are many antiques about the West in this museum, including many antiques from the Roman Empire.

Jin Muchen had deliberately checked it before, but for those things of the ancient Roman Empire, to be honest, he really couldn't appreciate it.

The most famous thing in the Roman Empire era is nothing more than some marble statues, and there are thousands of them in this museum.

The most famous of these are some clay pots and stone carvings stolen from Italy more than 20 years ago, which look tattered and have no beauty at all.

For Jin Muchen, who is accustomed to seeing our fine Chinese porcelain, those things are not in the eyes of the law at all, and can only be regarded as some case-solving column tiles.

Pottery can't be compared with our porcelain, not to mention those sculptures, there are those exquisite Chinese Buddha sculptures in front of them, and those broken Roman sculptures, Jin Muchen can't shake them off at all.

These things, to be honest, are just in the name of ancient Roman artworks, and if they are put on the auction market, they cannot be compared with our things at all.

Among the Western antiques, there are not only many ancient Roman things, but also many modern American art exhibits.

For example, the pair of Day-and-Night sculptures at the door, a pair of bronze sculptures of baby heads, one with one open and one closed, were designed by the famous Spanish modern artist Antonio López García.

Many modern art magazines have introduced the bronze statues, which are said to cost tens of millions of dollars because of their modern artistic beauty and the fact that they were made by famous modern artists.

Jin Muchen wanted to take this thing away when he arrived, but each of the sculptures in Nima was 8 feet high and weighed 1.6 tons, a behemoth, Jin Muchen really doubted that his purple jade space could fit such a pair of treasures.

And even if you take this thing away, isn't this thing particularly difficult to sell?

Because he was too big, and it was not as meaningful as the Sui Dynasty painted stone statue of the Bodhisattva, so in the end, after thinking twice, Jin Muchen still gave up this thing.

There are also famous contemporary American sculptors, Nopo and Webster's most famous work "Dollar Sign", to put it bluntly, it is a sculpture carved with the well-known symbol of "$", Jin Muchen also wants to get it, but after thinking about it, forget it.

The first is that his B grid is too low to appreciate the beauty of this sculpture, and the second is because this thing is really not small, and it is really difficult to get it.

Even if he got it, even if the FBI didn't come to check it back, maybe Jesse would have to question how he got this thing.

And there are so many good things in this museum that you can't compete with such a huge and stupid sculpture.

Any ordinary antique here will cost tens of thousands of dollars, ordinary ones will cost hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, and better ones will cost millions.

can be called a high-quality product, that is often millions, tens of millions.

And in this art museum, there are too many treasures that can be called boutiques.

To be honest, coming down from the second floor of the West Building, Jin Muchen was already a little numb, those treasures that usually cost millions of dollars at every turn are like cabbage here.

When he first started stealing those ancient Chinese paintings, Jin Muchen was still a little excited in his heart, but later, when he took too many treasures of the same level, he was already a little numb.

Now he doesn't even look at the things that are basically under a million, and he can give a face in front of him and take a few looks, but he can't do anything.

Unless it's something that is particularly meaningful, or something that has something to do with our Chinese antiques, he will take a closer look, and he doesn't bother to waste that energy at all.

He doesn't look at any Western sculptures, silverware, or whatever, and what he is most concerned about now is the Western oil paintings in the museum.

In this museum, the only thing that can compete with our ancient Chinese national treasures is these Western oil paintings.

This art museum is rich and powerful, and over the past few hundred years, it has really looted a lot of oil paintings by famous Western artists.

For example, El Greco, Tintoletto, Rousseau, Rembrandt, Monet, Paul. Cézanne, Van Van The works of high-level people are all collected here.

Among them, the largest collection is the works of the French Impressionist master Monet, and even this museum has the largest exhibition hall of Monet's works outside France, which has a total collection of more than 40 works by Monet.

Compared with those Western statues, pottery, gold and silver utensils, oil painting can be said to be the crown jewel of Western antiques, and it can even be said to be the king of Western antiques.

In the final analysis, it is still because this thing belongs to the "hard currency" in Western art, because compared with other Western antiques, oil painting has a very effective value evaluation standard and system, so it can be accepted by the dignitaries and dignitaries, down to the common people.
