Chapter 662: Visiting the British Museum

slept until two o'clock in the afternoon, Hao Wen and the four of them got up from the bed, then dialed the phone to the main desk, ordered some food and sent it to the room, which can be regarded as an alternative English afternoon tea.

Hao Wen lived in the supreme suite ordered, that naturally very important, not long after the doorbell rang, a waiter brought the food.

The four of them sat at the dining table, and Fanny asked, "Husband, what are we going to do when we are full?" ”

In this regard, Hao Wen has long been in mind, that is, to continue to spend time in Hao Wen's place in London.

"There are a lot of good places in London that we can go to." Hao Wendao.

As soon as she heard that she was going to play, Fanny immediately applauded happily: "Yes, yes! Where are we going? ”

The other two daughters were also in high spirits.

Hao Wendao: "The British Museum has always been famous all over the world, and it would be a pity not to visit London if we didn't go to London, so we can go and visit it. ”

"Great! I've been there once, but I'm in a hurry and there are still a lot of places I haven't been able to visit, so I'm just making up for it! Fanny said.

Dalena also said: "I also went once, but I was still young at that time, and my memory was not too deep, so it's good to play again now!" ”

Although Gao Xin has already been there since she arrived in London, three of the four have agreed to go, and it doesn't hurt for her to go again.

After the meal, the four of them went out.

Of course, before going out, Hao Wen still didn't forget to leave some marks, so as not to know if the room had been entered and exited when he came back.

Be careful sailing the ship of 10,000 years, it's always right to be careful!

After picking up the car in the garage. The four of them drove towards Great Russell Square, north of New Oxford Street.

The Langham Hotel is very close to the Great Russell Place, only 1.8 kilometers by car, about 20 minutes walk, Hao Wen and their car, a few minutes away.

The National Museum of Great Britain, also known as the Great Britain Museum, sits on Great Russell Square. Founded in 1753 and officially opened to the public on January 15, 1759, it is the oldest and most magnificent comprehensive museum in the world, as well as one of the largest and most famous museums in the world.

The museum houses many artifacts and treasures from around the world. and manuscripts of many great scientists. The richness and variety of the collection are rare in museums all over the world. There are more than 8 million pieces in the collection, but due to space constraints, many more have not been shown to the world.

Although the collection is very large. But there's one thing that can't be denied. That is, most of the collection was looted during the wars waged by the British in the 18th and 19th centuries. The main victims include China, Greece, Egypt and other countries. Among them, the Egyptian Antiquities Museum is the largest exhibition hall. There are more than 70,000 artifacts of ancient Egypt inside.

After entering the British Museum, Hao Wen and the four of them went straight to Exhibition Hall 33 through the route map. This hall is a permanent exhibition hall dedicated to the display of Chinese cultural relics. Along with the Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Indian galleries, it is one of only a handful of national galleries in the museum.

The reason why I went straight to Hall 33 is actually very simple, I am not engaged in art appreciation, or I am not very knowledgeable in art, and ordinary people really can't understand the art treasures of other countries.

I believe many people resonate with this point. Don't say it's the art treasures of other countries, even if it's their own, for example, the fine ceramics of China, many Chinese people in addition to looking at the ceramics are very beautiful, and subconsciously feel that this should be a good thing, but you really have to ask him where he is good, ask ten people, it is estimated that nine can't answer, or even ten!

This is definitely not bragging, but reality!

This is normal, this person lives in the world, and the reason why he pursues better must be that he has a certain foundation, which will pursue better!

For example, many people can't even solve the problem of stomach food and clothing, in such a situation, these people will care about the spiritual level of 'food and clothing'? There is no doubt that those who have a worry-free life and have plenty of time to enjoy life will pursue these things, such as concerts (not star concerts), operas and other theatrical performances, in these places, you will definitely not see any salarymen!

Hao Wen has never received the so-called artistic edification since he was a child, and how can he understand the artworks of other countries when the Chinese artworks are not fully understood? In such a situation, if you don't come to the Huaxia Pavilion first, do you want to go to another museum first?

The collection of Chinese cultural relics in the No. 33 exhibition hall includes the entire category of Chinese art, ancient stoneware, Shang and Zhou bronzes, Wei and Jin stone Buddhist scriptures, Tang and Song Dynasty calligraphy and paintings, Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, etc., which mark the national treasures of various cultures in Chinese history can be seen here.

However, if you really think that this exhibition hall 33 houses all the rare treasures looted from China, then you are naΓ―ve! This is only one-tenth of the more than 23,000 rare treasures in China, and nine-tenths of them are stored in another 10 storage rooms!

Why?

There are many reasons, one of which is that I don't want all tourists to see it, so I engage in such a 'hierarchical treatment', what level of people get what kind of treatment, that is, the so-called people are divided into three, six, nine and so on. This phenomenon is all too common and already exists in many aspects of life.

For example, the bank, the bank didn't say that people were not allowed to come in, but the treatment of the rich and the poor after coming in is absolutely different! Anyone who has ever been in a bank knows this! The rich man entered, and as soon as he entered the gate, he was directly invited into the VIP reception room, and the manager and even the president personally received him. Beggar? Honestly go to the number collection machine and wait in line for the number! When the radio calls your number, you will handle your business again!

Originally, as Fanny and Dalena, if they communicated with the museum through diplomatic channels, they would have no problem seeing those faceless collections! Or maybe Hao Wen asked Keston to come forward, if you want to see it, then that's no problem!

However, it was too high-profile and exciting, and Hao Wenwen meant to kill time, not that he had to read all the rare treasures, so he didn't force it.

Regarding this, Fanny told Hao Wen, saying that there are many exhibits in the exhibition hall, but in fact, it is the tip of the iceberg, and the real good things are in the dark, and ordinary people can't see them.

For such an approach, Hao Wen immediately figured out the Tao. Don't look at the entire British Museum's collection so much, but how it came to be, everyone knows in their hearts! So, if it is completely exposed under the noses of the world, how much hatred is this trying to raise? (To be continued......)
