Treasure Hunt all over the World

After Calatrava sat down again, Ye Tian continued to say:

"Now the top antique artworks in my hands are mainly divided into two categories, antique artworks from China and antique artworks from the Western world. The quantity is considerable, and each piece is a treasure.

In addition, I also have some antique works of art from other countries and regions, such as antique relics from ancient Egypt and antique relics from various periods of Indians, the number of which is relatively small.

In view of this, I plan to divide my private museum into two parts, the Chinese Pavilion and the Western Culture and Art Museum. In these two major exhibition halls, there will be many unique exhibition halls.

From this point of view, I want to build my private museum into a cultural and cultural institution that integrates cultural and artistic exchanges between the East and the West and coexists harmoniously, which is different from all other museums.”

"Wow! It is entirely conceivable that once your private museum is completed, it will definitely cause a huge sensation. I am becoming more and more interested in this design business!"

Calateva said with emotion, his tone quite excited.

His two assistants, as well as several staff members, also had excited eyes.

These guys knew very well that as long as they successfully won this design business, their architectural design firm would definitely make a lot of money.

Who doesn't know! This guy, Steven, has money in his hands, and he is famously generous. He must spare no expense to design and build his own private museum.

Another point, once this private museum is completed and opened, it is very likely to become another classic and one of the new landmarks of ancient Beijing!

Ye Tian nodded slightly, continued to smile and said:

"In terms of museum design and construction, my museum is mainly divided into two parts, the China Pavilion rooted in Chinese culture and full of Chinese elements, and the Western Culture and Art Museum derived from Western culture.

I plan to hand over the design and construction of the China Pavilion to China's top architectural design team. Only Chinese people know the Chinese civilization that has been passed down for five thousand years, and know how to perfectly display Chinese antiques.

As for the design and construction of the Western Culture and Art Museum, I plan to hire some of the world's top western architectural design masters to design and open bidding. Only the most outstanding design proposals will win the bid.

Regardless of the design of the Chinese Pavilion or the Western Art Museum,

I will participate in it and give my opinion. After all, this is my private museum, and I am confident that my art appreciation ability is not bad.

In this museum, I hope to see the harmonious coexistence of Eastern and Western cultures and arts, the mutual reflection of Eastern and Western architectural decoration arts, and the brilliant sparks of the collision between ancient civilization and modern technology.

As for the exhibition halls and exhibition halls, according to the different themes, each exhibition hall has distinctive features. Only in this way can the antique artworks displayed in the exhibition halls bloom the brightest light of civilization.

I want everything about this private museum to be flawless and unique! It can bring joy to the visitors, and I hope to achieve the effect of changing scenes step by step, and bring people a sense of freshness at all times.”

Hearing this, Calatrava fell silent for a moment, lost in thought.

After a while, he opened his mouth and said:

"Steven, the business of helping you design and build a private museum must be quite lucrative, and it is indeed very attractive, but our firm may not accept your commission.

The reason is simple. I am not used to cooperating with others to design and construct an artistic building. In that case, I am worried that my design plan will not be fully realized.

And I am not a person who is willing to compromise, because of other factors beyond my control, changing my design plan, this is my consistent insistence, I hope you can understand"

What Calatrava said surprised everyone except Ye Tian. Everyone looked at him, including his assistants and office staff.

This is such a fat business, just refuse it?

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then said leisurely:

"Santiago, I haven't finished the introduction yet. After I finish the introduction, I believe you will change your mind and accept this business. If you still refuse, it would be a pity!

Let's talk about the Western Culture and Art Museum. In this large exhibition hall, it is divided into many exhibition halls of different sizes. The first to bear the brunt is the Ancient Greek and Roman Sculpture Art Museum.

In this ancient Greek and Roman sculpture art museum, there will be many exquisite sculptures from the ancient Greek period, the Hellenistic era, and the ancient Roman period on display.

Among them, the most famous and most valuable sculptures are from the three major sculptors of ancient Greece and the three major sculptors of the Hellenistic period, and they are their representative works.

Counting all the top museums in the world, no matter the Louvre, the British Museum, or the Metropolitan, no museum has so many top-level ancient Greek sculptures.

Especially the works of the three major sculptors of ancient Greece and the three major sculptors of the Hellenistic period. These top museums do not even have one, and can only regard "Venus of Milos" as a treasure.

I own the "Aphrodite of Nidas" that we discovered and salvaged in the Ionian Sea and is currently displayed in the Hall of Faith at the Metropolitan Museum.

Compared with other ancient Greek sculptures I own, this statue of Beauty by Praxiteles, one of the three major sculptors of the Hellenistic era, is not the most outstanding.

Let's put it this way, at the entrance of the Museum of Western Culture and Art, that is, at the entrance of the Museum of Ancient Greek and Roman Sculpture, I will erect a very special giant sculpture.

This giant marble sculpture was made by Phidias, the head of the three ancient Greek sculptors and known as the god of classical sculpture. It symbolizes the beginning of Western civilization and is unique! "

Before the words fell, the scene immediately exploded.

Calatrava jumped up from the sofa as if getting an electric shock, staring at Ye Tian with eyes as wide as cowbells, eyes full of inconceivable and crazy eyes.

The guys who followed him were the same, everyone's eyes were wide open, and two eyeballs were about to fly out of their sockets.

Strictly speaking, these architectural designers are also engaged in art, and they all have the demeanor of artists.

They who grew up with western art education, don't know the three great sculptors of ancient Greece and the three great sculptors of the Hellenistic era, and the greatness of Phidias, the god of classical sculpture!

What Ye Tian said is absolutely correct, the source of Western civilization is ancient Greek civilization.

The representative works of Phidias, the god of classical sculpture, can be regarded as the symbol of the beginning of Western civilization, and its importance is self-evident.

In contrast, the treasure of the Louvre Museum, the famous "Venus of Milos", is simply not enough to watch!

"Steven, did I hear you right? You have the sculptures of the three major sculptors of ancient Greece and the three major sculptors of the Hellenistic era? And there are also representative works of Phidias, the god of classical sculpture, which is simply crazy , It’s incredible!”

Calatrava asked excitedly, even his voice trembling slightly.

Ye Tian nodded slightly, and said firmly:

"You heard me right, Santiago, I do have the representative works of the three major sculptors of ancient Greece and the three major sculptors of the Hellenistic era, and the "Aphrodite of Nidas" in the Metropolitan Hall of Beauty is one of them.

There are also two bronze sculptures by the master Lyucippus, the Head of Plato and the Head of Socrates, and another marble sculpture, Hercules Killing the Nemean Lion.

These are just a few representative works of the three major sculptors of the Hellenistic era that I have known to the outside world. There are also some more precious ancient Greek sculptures that have not appeared in front of the world so far.

When my private museum is completed, these priceless ancient Greek sculptures will be displayed collectively in the Western Culture and Art Museum, and in the Ancient Greek and Roman Sculpture Art Museum.

They will show all visitors the origin and beginning of Western civilization, and their collective appearance will definitely cause a sensation in the whole world, attracting countless attentions and researches by countless experts and scholars.

As far as the collection of ancient Greek and ancient Roman sculpture art is concerned, I can say with certainty that my private museum is absolutely unique in the world. In this world, there is no other museum that can compare with it.

The most shocking of these ancient Greek sculptures is the giant sculpture of Phidias, the god of classical sculpture, which will stand at the entrance of the Western Culture and Art Museum, with the entire Western civilization behind it.

Now, what this great sculpture, and the other great sculptures of ancient Greece and the Hellenistic age, need most is a beautiful exhibition room that matches and complements their value.

In my opinion, there are very few people in this world who will not be moved by these priceless treasures. I also believe that there must be many top architects who are willing to design the most beautiful exhibition halls for them! "

Before the words fell, Calatrava directly interrupted Ye Tian's words, and said excitedly:

"Steven, I have accepted your design business. I will definitely come up with the most perfect design plan and design the most beautiful museum!"

Hearing this, the smile on Ye Tian's face suddenly became brighter!
