Treasure Hunt all over the World

In the Hermitage Museum, Ye Tian and the others have stored the suitcases filled with the golden panels of the Amber Room in the vault, and they are leaving the office area and walking towards the exhibition area, preparing to visit.

Accompanying them were Mikhail, the curator of the Hermitage Museum, and several other high-level museum officials and top experts in the identification of antique works of art.

Without exception, these Russians all had bright smiles on their faces, they were extremely excited, and their steps became much lighter.

What made them so excited was naturally not the arrival of Ye Tian and others, but the golden amber panels of the Amber Room, which finally returned to the Russian museum after more than seventy years.

Although this is the Hermitage Museum and the Winter Palace, not the Summer Palace where the Amber Room was originally located, this is enough to make Mikhail and others excited.

And some other Russians, Vasily from the Kremlin, and the Russian Deputy Minister of Culture, have parted ways with Ye Tian and the others and left the Hermitage Museum.

Ye Tian and the others did not plan to negotiate a deal with the Hermitage Museum today, but planned to take a good tour of this famous museum, so that the trip would be worthwhile.

In this case, there is no need for Vasily and the others to stay in the Hermitage Museum.

Seeing that Ye Tian locked the suitcase full of golden amber panels in the vault, these Russian government officials bid farewell one after another, left the museum, and went back to report to their respective bosses.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian and his group arrived at the entrance of the exhibition area of ​​the museum.

At this moment, Mikhail suddenly asked:

"Steven, you are about to enter the exhibition area of ​​the museum. Where do you plan to start your tour? The Hermitage Museum is very large and has a large collection of antique artworks, which is enough for you to visit.

The museum is divided into eight departments, the Department of Primitive Culture, the Department of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, the Department of Oriental Culture, the Department of Russian Cultural History, the Department of Coins, the Department of Western European Art, the Department of Science and Education, and the Department of Restoration and Preservation.

Do you appreciate them one by one? Or pick a few of them to visit? If you visit each department one by one, it will definitely take a lot of time and consume a lot of energy and physical strength.”

Ye Tian looked at this old friend, then shook his head with a smile and said:

"The Hermitage Museum is really too big, and there are too many antique artworks and cultural relics on public display. If you want to visit each department one by one and appreciate each antique artwork, it will take a month or two at least. .

We came to St. Petersburg this time with limited time and a clear purpose. Obviously, it is impossible to visit this top museum thoroughly. We can only take a quick tour to see those famous antique works of art.

I want to take a good look at each of the eight departments of your museum, but this time I can only visit two of them, and I have to give up the other six departments. When I have time later, I will come to St. Petersburg and spend a month or two to take a good look.

Except for me and a Chinese employee here, our company employees are all educated in Western culture and art. Let’s go to the Western European Art Department to visit today, and tomorrow we will go to the Oriental Culture Department.

As we all know, the Hermitage Museum is established on the basis of the Western European Art Department, and the Western European Art Department is also the most famous exhibition department of the Hermitage Museum. I have long wanted to see it.

Especially the two Madonna statues by Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael's "Madonna and Child", and Rembrandt's "The Prodigal Son" in the collection of the Western European Art Department. Fan"

"Wow! Looks like you guys know a lot about our Hermitage Museum,

Please come with me, let's go to the Western European Art Department for a tour"

Mikhail continued, with a look of complacency and pride flashing in his eyes at the same time.

Anyone, as the curator of such a world-class museum, is entitled to be proud!

Next, under the leadership of Mikhail and others, Ye Tian and the others passed through two security gates one after another, entering the magnificent exhibition area from the relatively simple and modern museum office area.

This is a luxuriously decorated and magnificent Baroque palace building. In various places of this palace, there are pieces of valuable antique artworks, shining with the light of civilization.

The stairs, guardrails, walls and window lattices of this palace are all pure white marble, supplemented by gilded lamps and exquisite stone carvings, which are dazzling.

Looking up at the top of the head, countless reliefs surround the huge ceiling painting. The gods from ancient Greek and ancient Roman myths and legends seem to soar in the sky, with auspicious clouds floating around, looking down on all living beings.

Not far ahead, the stairs leading to the second floor were covered with scarlet carpets, winding up the stairs until they were out of everyone's sight.

Everything that appears in front of everyone's eyes is full of extravagant royal style. Here, even those who are picky about art will be speechless!

As soon as they entered here, Ye Tian and the others all stopped and looked around, admiring this luxurious baroque royal palace and the antique artworks hanging or displaying around them.

"Wow! This place is so beautiful and luxurious! The whole palace is resplendent and resplendent. In terms of this alone, the Louvre and Versailles in France can't compare to this place!"

"This is not a museum, it's a palace at all, and it's the most luxurious one! Now I understand why the Russians regard the magnificent Amber Room as a treasure!"

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene, coming from the company employees and security personnel around Ye Tian. Everyone was completely shocked by the magnificent palace in front of them, and everyone was dumbfounded!

At the same time, the arrival of Ye Tian and his group also caused a commotion in this luxurious exhibition hall.

The people who happened to be in this exhibition hall turned their heads to look at them and started talking about it.

"Wow! I didn't expect to see guys like Steven here. They look like they came out of the office area of ​​the Hermitage Museum. Could it be that they have already reached a deal with the Hermitage Museum?"

"If this is the case, it would be great, judging from the expressions of Steven and the director of the Hermitage Museum Mikhail, they are both in a very good mood.

Does this mean that it won't be long before we see the real Amber Room in the Hermitage? Not the one copied in previous years”

With the discussion one after another, the eyes of people looking at Ye Tian and the others became hotter, and everyone's eyes were full of expectation.

Ye Tian didn't seem to have heard these discussions that kept coming into his ears. He just smiled and nodded at the crowd, then turned around and said:

"Mikhail, let me introduce the Hermitage Museum to you, so that it will be convenient for everyone to visit"

Hearing this, Mikhail immediately turned his head to look over, and whispered in surprise:

"I still need to introduce you? You guys should have a very thorough understanding of the Hermitage Museum. Everyone knows that you guys came to St. Petersburg this time for our museum."

"Yes, I do know the Hermitage Museum very well, but my staff and security personnel don't know much about it. It would be great if you could introduce it."

With that said, Ye Tian pointed at Cole and the others.

Mikhail looked at Cole and the others, then nodded slightly.

"Okay then, let me introduce you to the Hermitage Museum so that you can have a better visit, let's talk as we walk."

After the words were finished, Mikhail made a gesture of invitation, and then stepped out, leading Ye Tian and the others to the stairs covered with red carpet not far ahead, preparing to go up to the second floor for sightseeing.

The Western European art department that Ye Tian mentioned before is on the second floor of the museum, just walk up the stairs.
