Chapter 1574： Public exhibition

On the second floor of the Metropolitan Museum, there is a small independent exhibition hall next to the European Painting Gallery.

Jason and three brave explorer employees are working with four or five Metropolitan Museum staff to set up the exhibition!

Raphael's "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ", as well as several other top antique artworks, have been taken out of the box and leaned against the wall.

Matisse took a few armed security personnel to stand with guns, standing in front of these priceless top antique artworks, always in a state of high alert, protecting these top antique artworks.

Since the booth has not been set up yet, and the indoor lighting has not been adjusted to the best condition, the top antique works of art have not revealed their true appearance and are still packed in sealed bags.

Even so, the many Metropolitan Museum executives, antique art appraisal experts, and staff in the exhibition hall have always kept their sights on those treasures, and everyone's eyes are extremely hot.

On the other side, Thomas, the curator of the Metropolitan Museum, is introducing Ye Tian the situation of the exhibition and the various security measures of this exhibition hall.

"Steven, this is an independent exhibition hall. There are no windows on all four walls. There is only one entrance to the exhibition hall. Natural light can't get through.

These top antique artworks from Napoleon’s treasures have been sleeping in the dark for more than two hundred years. They are still somewhat fragile and not very adaptable to the external environment.

In view of this, we chose this place as the exhibition hall for the first exhibition of these top antique artworks, and protect these valuable antique artworks as much as possible.

The lighting system, air-conditioning system, ventilation equipment, etc. in this exhibition hall were all replaced in time and all replaced with the most advanced equipment today.

Here, the light is controllable, and the temperature and humidity can also be precisely controlled. We will provide the most perfect exhibition conditions based on the top antique artworks.

The wall in front of us is facing the entrance of the exhibition hall. It can be seen as soon as the exhibition hall. The location is excellent. It is the most important exhibition wall in the whole exhibition hall. There is no doubt about this.

There are two display positions on the wall, one on the left and the other on the right. The one on the left will be used to display Raphael’s "The Madonna", and the right will be used to display Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ".

At the same time as the introduction, Thomas also gestured happily, looking very excited.

Ye Tian looked at the wall in front of him, then turned to look at the front entrance of the exhibition hall at the back, then smiled and nodded and said:

"Yes, this wall and these two exhibition spaces are indeed very good. Tourists who come to visit here can see these two exhibition spaces at a glance as long as they walk into this exhibition hall.

It is obviously appropriate to display Raphael's "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ" here. These two golden display positions are in line with their value and status.

Thomas nodded slightly, and then continued the introduction.

"As you can see, there are two layers of bulletproof glass with extremely high transparency outside the two gold display booths, which will not affect the visit of tourists, but also provide a very reliable security guarantee.

These bullet-proof glasses are extremely strong and can withstand the close-range shooting of automatic rifle bullets. Other weapons like fire axes can't help them in a short time.

More importantly, the display stand behind the bulletproof glass has an automatic lifting function. Under the two display positions and in the wall, there are two titanium alloy safes hidden.

Once the bulletproof glass encounters an attack or someone tries to cut it, the display shelf inside will immediately sink, with the displayed artwork, quickly retracted into the titanium alloy safe.

The two titanium alloy safes hidden in the wall are not only very strong and extremely difficult to cut, but they are also connected to the wall and floor, and the connection is very strong.

In this way, even if robbers break into this independent exhibition hall by chance, they will never succeed in a short time. They can only stand in front of this wall and sigh!

In addition, in the wall where the two titanium alloy safes are located, there is also a set of miniature fire fighting system, which can effectively resist fire attack in a short time.

Steven, according to the agreement, after the completion of the exhibition, these two exhibition spaces will be completely locked. Only when we are both present at the same time and input the fingerprint password, can they be opened.

It is no exaggeration that the level of these two sets of security display systems is no less than that of the set of security display systems equipped by the Louvre for "Mona Lisa", or even worse.

Also, this exhibition hall is located in the center of the second floor of the museum. Anyone who wants to enter this exhibition hall must first enter the museum. It is impossible to make ideas on the outer wall of the exhibition hall.

At the same time that Thomas was giving an endless introduction, Ye Tian had secretly turned on the perspective, and had a clear view of the wall in front of him and the institutions inside the wall, without missing anything!

As Matisse said, these two small security display systems are very advanced and robust, with almost no loopholes!

The lifting mechanism connected to the display stand, the two titanium alloy safes integrated with the wall and the floor, and the miniature fire protection system, etc., are all in the best condition and completely new!

After looking through the wall in front of him thoroughly and finding that there were no problems, Ye Tian retracted his gaze with satisfaction and ended the perspective.

Immediately afterwards, he said to Thomas:

"Thomas, please introduce other security measures in this exhibition hall, I am very interested"

"Okay, Steven"

Thomas nodded in response, and then continued the introduction.

"After reaching a loan agreement with you, we immediately transformed the security system of this exhibition hall at the fastest speed, eliminated all outdated equipment and replaced it with the most advanced equipment.

Not only is there the most advanced and safest display system here, but it is also full of infrared and thermal imaging monitoring equipment, motion capture systems, and other security systems that I can’t even name.

It is no exaggeration to say that after a day's exhibition is over and the museum is closed, even if a mouse enters this exhibition hall, it should not escape the eyes of museum security personnel.

In addition to the most advanced high-tech security system, we will also equip this exhibition hall with the best security personnel. There will be round-trip inspections 24 hours a day without interruption.

If something happens here, the museum security staff will arrive as soon as possible, and the Upper Manhattan Police Station, which is not far away, will also arrive here within ten minutes...."

Next, Thomas continued to introduce the security measures of this independent exhibition hall in very detail.

During this period, Ye Tian opened the perspective several times and secretly saw through the independent exhibition hall thoroughly.

Everything is as Thomas said, the security measures of this independent exhibition hall are very complete and strict, and there are almost no loopholes.

When Thomas finished his introduction, Ye Tian immediately said:

"I am very satisfied, Thomas, your arrangement is very thorough and almost impeccable. I am also relieved a lot about the exhibition of the two paintings by Raphael and Michelangelo.

According to the agreement reached before, during the public exhibition period, I will send two security personnel and two company employees to come here in turn to cooperate and supervise the exhibition activities for the next period of time"

"It's okay, Steven, since we have reached an agreement, of course we have to follow the agreement."

Thomas nodded in response, but a trace of fear flashed through his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, a staff member of the Metropolitan Museum in his 30s suddenly walked over and said to Ye Tian and Thomas excitedly:

"The preparatory work has been completed, there is no problem, the exhibition can be set up"

Hearing this, Thomas' face immediately burst into a brilliant smile.

"Let’s get started, Steven, I can’t wait to see Raphael’s "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ" with my own eyes. They must be very beautiful and shocking."

As he said, Thomas looked at the top antique artworks leaning against the wall, his eyes shining straight, although the top antique artworks were covered with airtight bags and could not see anything!

The rest of the people at the scene were the same, looking at them one after another, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot.

"You are right, Thomas, those two outstanding paintings from the Renaissance period are indeed very beautiful, and their artistic charm is enough to shock people!

Just according to the standard I gave before turn down the lights in the exhibition hall, and when the lighting conditions are right, you can see Raphael and Michelangelo"

Ye Tian said with a smile on his face, his words were a bit sensational.

After speaking, he stepped out and walked to the top antique works of art leaning against the wall, with very brisk steps.

At the same time, a staff member of the Metropolitan Museum took the IPAD and quickly manipulated it. The movements were very familiar.

In the next moment, the lights in the exhibition hall dimmed immediately, but it did not affect people's appreciation of the artwork!

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian carefully opened a black sealed bag, took out the paintings in it, and displayed them in front of everyone.

With this action of him, a sound of exclamation immediately sounded in the exhibition hall.

"Wow! This is Raphael's "The Madonna", it's so beautiful"
