Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1369 Jimei Museum

It was already noon when Ye Tian and the others returned to the hotel by car.

After having lunch at the hotel and resting for a while, Ye Tian took Betty and set off again, driving straight to the Guimet Museum in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, where he was going to pick out his favorite Chinese antique artworks.

Guimet Asian Art Museum, located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, was established in 1889 by Lyon industrialist Emile Guimet. It is a famous museum with a history of more than one hundred years.

At the beginning of its establishment, the museum mainly displayed the religious cultures of Egypt, ancient Rome, Greece, and Asian countries.

Later, due to a series of expeditions in different regions of the Far East, the Guimet Museum paid more and more attention to Asia while retaining the religious part of ancient Egypt.

In 1945, the collection of the French National Museum was reorganized on a large scale, and the Guimet Museum underwent another major change!

Taking this opportunity, the Musée Guimet transferred its Egyptian section to the Louvre, which in turn gave away its Asian art section, making the Musée Guimet the premier museum of Asian art.

Among them, there are tens of thousands of Chinese antique artworks in the collection, ranging from jade ware from the Neolithic Age, bronze ware from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, to antique artworks in modern times, covering a very wide range!

Especially the collection of porcelain, which can be called the largest collection of Chinese antique porcelain in overseas museums!

Through the collection of 10,000 to 20,000 pieces of Chinese porcelain in the Jimei Museum, people who visit the museum can fully see the history of the development of Chinese porcelain!

From the earliest pottery, to coarse porcelain, to celadon and hard porcelain, the collection of Chinese porcelain in Guimet Museum clearly reflects the innovation in the history of porcelain!

Among the collections of Chinese porcelain in the Jimei Museum, there are many exquisite porcelains from the five famous kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty "Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun, and Ding", as well as the highly sought after Yuan blue and white porcelain and so on.

In addition to porcelain, this museum also has thousands of paintings from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, many of which are priceless top art!

In addition, the collection of Chinese bronzes, ancient jade, and ancient cultural classics of the Jimet Museum is also famous in the field of antique art collections!

These exquisite collections of the Jimei Museum are treasures that Ye Tian covets, and this is also the reason why he came to the Jimei Museum.

The only pity is that the Guimet Museum is relatively stingy, and is only willing to take out 20 pieces of Chinese antique art from the collection.

To exchange the three pieces of jewelry that belonged to Queen Mary, this required Ye Tian to make a choice!

The Regina Hotel is not far from the Jimei Museum. In less than 20 minutes, Ye Tian and the others arrived at the entrance of the Jimei Museum by car.

As soon as he got out of the car, Ye Tian saw a group of people walking out of the gate of the museum, and quickly greeted him.

The two leaders, one is an old friend Martinez, and the other is Florent, the curator of the Guimet Museum. They met once in New York before, and they are considered acquaintances!

Behind them, there are several high-level executives from the Louvre Museum and the Guimet Museum, as well as several experts in the appraisal of antique works of art, most of whom are familiar faces!

Walking closer, Florent, who is a landlord, shook hands with Ye Tian first, and said with a smile:

"Good afternoon, Steven, nice to meet you, welcome to Jimei Asian Art Museum, you guy is finally here, if you don't come again, we may have to change our minds!"

Ye Tian shook hands with this old friend, and replied with a light smile:

"Florent, good afternoon, I am also very glad to meet you, it has been nearly a year since New York, and your complexion looks very good, it seems that you should be in good health!

I have been looking forward to the Jimei Museum you are in charge of for a long time. Just 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 Jimet Museum. I finally finished my work this morning, so I rushed here immediately!

Fortunately, you didn't change your mind, otherwise it would be a pity. In that case, I can only exchange with Fontainebleau Palace. There are also many Chinese antique works of art that make my heart beat! "

Hearing what he said, all the French guys at the scene rolled their eyes and complained secretly.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as in the legend, what a greedy bastard! This is clearly up for grabs, and I don't even bother to do a little superficial effort to cover up!

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, expressing the depression that was pent up in their hearts!

"Is there something to do? Steven, did you transport the antique artworks looted from the Saint-Ouen Flea Market back to New York? It's really fast!"

Martinez interjected and asked, still with a pained expression.

"That's right, Martinez, my personal lawyer and the representatives of the three major auction houses in New York have already left Paris with those antique artworks and flew to New York!

But I don't agree with the word looting you mentioned. 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 smiled lightly and nodded, with a bit of complacency in his eyes.

Not looting? Stop talking nonsense!

What you bastard did at the flea market in Saint-Ouen was a looting of Chiguoguo, never try to deny it!

The flea market in Saint-Ouen, which was looted wildly by you bastard, is now completely shrouded in a gloomy mist, and within half a year, there is no way to get over it!

Many Frenchmen complained secretly again, not to mention how depressed they were!

Next, Ye Tian shook hands with many Frenchmen present, greeted each of them, and briefly introduced his entourage.

After exchanging pleasantries, accompanied by a group of Frenchmen, Ye Tian walked into the Jimei Museum with Betty and Anderson talking and laughing.

Following them into the museum, there are Matisse, Taylor and Lisa, and two other security personnel!

The rest of the security personnel stayed outside the museum, maintaining a certain degree of vigilance, sitting in a few bulletproof Mercedes-Benz SUVs waiting, and they can also provide support for Ye Tian and the others at any time!

Everything that happened at the entrance of the Jimei Museum fell into the eyes of the surrounding pedestrians and tourists, and caused a small commotion!

"Am I right? The guy who just walked into the museum seems to be Steven's crazy bastard. What is he doing at the Jimmy Museum? Is he planning to rob this famous museum?"

"It's that bastard Steven, that's right, but it's obviously impossible to loot the Guimet Museum, and this is not the Saint-Ouen antique flea market, he can get whatever he wants!

If you ask me, this crazy bastard should be deported immediately, and let him stay in Paris. Not only will the city be ruined, but the city will be looted! "

Just as people outside the museum were discussing, Ye Tian and the others had already passed through the museum hall and the ticket gate, and formally entered the exhibition area.

As soon as he entered here, Florent, the curator of the Guimet Museum, asked aloud:

"Steven, do you appreciate the Chinese antique artworks in the exhibition area first? Or go to the warehouse first to see those Chinese antique artworks in stock?"

Ye Tian quickly glanced at the situation in the exhibition area, then smiled and said:

"Let's appreciate the antique works of art in the exhibition area first, especially the bronze elephant statue from the late Yin and Shang Dynasties. I have been admiring it for a long time, and I can't wait to see that bronze ware right away!

Let's go to the warehouse later, appreciate the antique artworks in stock, and choose the treasures that make me excited. I have plenty of time. This afternoon, I plan to stay in the Jimei Museum! "

"In that case, come with me. I will take you to appreciate the famous bronze elephant statue, which is the treasure of our Jimei Museum!"

Florent nodded and said, his facial muscles visibly twitched, obviously in pain!

Afterwards, the Frenchman led Ye Tian and the others into the exhibition area.
