Chapter 2208： Palace of gold coins

Inside the Hermitage Museum, Ye Tian and the others have stored the suitcases filled with the golden siding of the Amber Room in the vault. They are leaving the office area and heading to the exhibition area, preparing to take a tour.

Accompanying them are the curator of the Hermitage Museum Mikhail, as well as several other high-level museums and top antique art appraisal experts.

Without exception, these Russians have bright smiles on their faces, each of them is extremely excited, and their steps have become a lot lighter.

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

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

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

Ye Tian and the others do not plan to talk about a deal with the Hermitage Museum today, but plan to take a good tour of this famous museum. This is a worthwhile trip.

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 siding in the vault, these Russian government officials left the museum one after another and went back to report to their bosses.

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

At this moment, Mikhail suddenly asked:

"Steven, I'm about to enter the museum exhibition area. Where do you plan to start the tour? The Hermitage Museum is very large, with a lot of antiques and artworks on display, enough for you to visit.

The museum is divided into eight departments, the Ministry of Primitive Culture, the Ministry of Ancient Greece and Roman World, the Ministry of Oriental Culture, the Ministry of Russian Culture and History, the Ministry of Coins, the Ministry of Western European Art, the Ministry of Science and Education, and the Ministry of Restoration.

Do you appreciate one by one? Or choose a few of them to visit? If you visit one by one, it will definitely take a lot of time, and it will also consume a lot of energy and energy."

Ye Tian looked at this old friend, then smiled and shook his head and said:

"The Hermitage Museum is too big, there are too many antique art and cultural relics on public display, I want to visit one by one, and appreciate each antique art, it will take a month or two to say nothing. .

This time we came to St. Petersburg for a limited time and a clear purpose. Obviously, it is impossible to thoroughly visit this top museum. We can only visit the famous antique works of art.

You have eight museums, each of which I want to go shopping, but this time I can only visit two of them, and the other six have to give up. When I have time in the future, I will spend another month or two in St. Petersburg.

Except for me and a Chinese-American employee, all employees of our company have received Western culture and art education. Let's visit the Western European Art Department today, and then go to the Oriental Ethnic Culture Department tomorrow.

As we all know, the Hermitage Museum was established on the basis of the Western European Art Department. 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 images of the Madonna by Leonardo, Raphael’s "Madonna and Child", and Rembrandt’s "The Prodigal Son", etc., collected by the Western European Art Department. I want to appreciate them. Fan"

"Wow! It seems that you guy knows our Hermitage Museum very well, please come with me, let's visit the Western European Art Department together"

Mikhail continued, his eyes flashed with pride and pride.

Anyone, as the director 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, and entered the magnificent exhibition area from the relatively simple and modern museum office area.

This is a luxuriously decorated and magnificent Baroque palace building. In every part of this palace, pieces of valuable antique works of art are displayed, blooming with the light of civilization.

The stairs, guardrails, walls and window frames of this palace are all pure white marble, supplemented by gilt lighting and exquisite stone carvings, which is dazzling.

Looking up at the top of the head, countless reliefs are surrounded by huge zenith paintings. The gods from ancient Greek and Roman myths and legends seem to be flying in the sky, surrounded by clouds floating and looking down on all beings.

Not far in front, the stairs leading to the second floor were covered with scarlet carpets, winding up the stairs until they were out of sight.

Everything that appears in front of everyone shows the most luxurious and royal style. Even people who are picky about art are speechless in this place!

As soon as they walked in here, Ye Tian and the others all stopped and looked around, admiring this luxurious Baroque royal palace and admiring the antique artworks that were hanging or placed around.

"Wow! This place is so beautiful and luxurious! The whole palace is magnificent and magnificent. On this point, France's Louvre and Versailles are not comparable to this place!"

"Where is this a museum? It's a palace at all, and it's the most luxurious kind! Now I understand why the Russians regard the magnificent amber house as a treasure!"

There was a sound of exclamation on the scene. The company employees and security personnel who were coming from Ye Tian's side were completely shocked by the magnificent palace in front of them, all stunned!

At the same time, the arrival of Ye Tian and his party 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 one after another and started talking.

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

"If this is the case, that would be great. Judging from the expressions of Steven and the curator of the Hermitage Museum Mikhail, they are in a very good mood.

Does this mean After a while, we will be able to see the real Amber Room in the Hermitage Museum? Not the one copied a few years ago"

With the continuous discussion, the eyes of people looking at Ye Tian and others have become more and more hot, and everyone’s eyes are full of expectations.

Ye Tian hadn’t heard of these constant comments. He just smiled and nodded at the crowd, then turned back and said:

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

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

"I still need to introduce you? As for the Hermitage Museum, you guy should have a very thorough understanding. Everyone knows that when you come to St. Petersburg this time, you are here for our museum."

"Yes, I do know the Hermitage Museum very well, but the employees and security personnel under me don't know much about it. If you can introduce it, that would be great."

said, Ye Tian pointed at Cole and the others.

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

"Well then, I will introduce the Hermitage Museum to everyone, so that everyone can better visit and tour, let's talk while walking"

When the voice fell, Mikhail made a gesture of please, then stepped out, leading Ye Tian and the others to the red-carpeted stairs not far ahead, ready to go up to the second floor for a tour.

The Western European Art Department that Ye Tian said before is on the second floor of the museum, just walk up the stairs.
