My travels can open treasure chests

Chapter 232 Greek Sculpture
"Normally, not many people come to my place. Why do you charge for it? Come in and take a look at my collection."

Grandma took Han Qi into this museum.

This is her home. It looks much bigger than a normal family house. The area of ​​the first floor is about two to three hundred square meters. It can barely be called a museum.And it wasn't until Han Qi walked in that he realized what was on display here.

The left and right directions of the first floor are exhibition rooms, all in Greek style.

The exhibition room on the left restores the process of the birth of ancient Greece with various objects and texts. Of course, there are the most paintings, and then there are various small sculptures. Han Qi can see that these stone sculptures should be modern objects, very new, but very vivid.

"Aren't there any antiques?" Han Qi muttered to himself.

No wonder I have to charge money. Although the description of the development history of ancient Greece here is more complete and systematic, entertaining and entertaining, it is not impossible to find it on the Internet, so if there is a fee here, it is estimated that the manager will not be able to make money all year round.

Han Qi originally thought that this was the case here, but when he entered another exhibition room, he realized that his thinking was wrong.

Big mistakes.

There are real antiques here.

When entering the exhibition room on the right, what you see is a golden mask. Han Qi can't tell if it's real or not. Then there are some bowls and reliefs. Although they are all small, you can see that these things are old objects.

Han Qi didn't know how old he was.

The only thing he could tell was a full-length statue, a woman, standing in a posture of standing on a high place, looking down on the world.The clothes on her body were a very transparent robe, most of her body was exposed, and her proportions, size, and shape were all perfect.

"gorgeous……"

It's amazing to be able to make the robes so transparent.

The old lady stood at the door of the exhibition room and said, "Everyone who comes here likes this statue very much, especially men."

"Cough cough."

Han Qi tried his best to pretend to be an upright gentleman, but it was obviously useless, his appearance just now had been seen.

But it’s normal to be dumbfounded. The reason why cultural relics are called cultural relics is because these things have a beauty that can shock ordinary people. This statue also perfectly possesses this kind of beauty. It is also because of this beauty that Han Qi was stunned for a moment. .

Definitely not because of the statue's good stature.

"Who is this statue?" Han Qi asked.

"It seems that you don't understand Greek mythology at all, otherwise you would know that this is Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, very famous."

"Sorry, but the statue looks like it's more than 1000 years old. Is it just an unprotected exhibition here? I mean, will any tourists touch this statue?"

"First of all, my dear, this is a stone. It is not as fragile as you imagined, and I am also there. How could I allow people to destroy the statue?"

Han Qi nodded slightly, and continued to look at other things.

Many antiques here are not deliberately protected, and the best preserved one is a [-]-centimeter bronze statue protected by a glass cover.

This should be Zeus. The main thing is to look at the weapon. Poseidon and Zeus look similar in Han Qi’s impression. If the weapon is a trident, it is undoubtedly Poseidon. No matter what other weapons are, they are all fine. Believed to be Zeus.

There is also a marble statue in the room, which is only [-] centimeters high, and it is placed on the table.

This is the latest in the entire showroom, where every detail is clearly visible.

"This is my work, Hermes, do you think it's okay?"

"Very beautiful." Han Qi praised.

It turns out that this grandma is also a sculptor, so it's no wonder that the exhibition room on the left should be full of her works.

The technology is very powerful, and these statues are very spiritual.

Han Qi really wanted to pretend that he was also a sculptor, proficient in wood carving, and also had some research on stone carving.But seeing the look in the eyes of grandma who loves her works the most, Han Qi couldn't say anything. She always felt that her ability was too easy, and she was a little sorry for this kind of person who spent his whole life to promote this industry.

"Your work can be placed in a large museum in London, it is very exquisite."

Han Qi can be regarded as seeing almost all the two exhibition rooms now, and he likes each of them very much, although the antique is still his favorite.

"I carved a lot when I was young, and I sold them all, and there are museums, but what's the use of that, and now I really want to buy them all back."

"Why?" Han Qi wondered.

If museums need his works, Han Qi will definitely give them to them for free.

She shook her head without answering.

However, she also began to introduce the origin of the things in this room to Han Qi. The largest statue of Goddess of Beauty is indeed an antique. It came from more than 500 years ago and has been preserved by her ancestors until today. It will be passed down as a family heirloom in the future.

Others include gold masks, bowls from the Attica region... these antiques are all from her collection over the years.

When it was time for dinner, the rain outside hadn't stopped.

Han Qi stood at the gate of the museum, watching the rain dripping down the canopy.

How do I go back? I have been waiting here for two hours.There is not even a passing taxi on the road. Is it like Norway where you have to call the taxi company to get a taxi?
I asked my grandma, and she said that the location here is relatively remote, and unless someone takes a taxi here, there are very few taxis passing by.

"Just eat here." Grandma said.

Han Qi thought for a while and still refused.

In Europe, due to cultural reasons, invitations are not used for politeness, so generally if foreigners want to treat you to dinner, it means that they really want to treat you to dinner.But Han Qi came here for the first time today, everything was left in the hotel, and the battery of his mobile phone was almost dead.

Seeing that Han Qi insisted on leaving, she gave Han Qi an umbrella.

"Go down from here, there are taxis and buses at the intersection in front of you."

"Thank you."

Han Qi lowered his body slightly and nodded to her, then took the umbrella.

It was really raining outside, and it was almost as if I hadn't opened an umbrella. The trousers got wet quickly, but the good news is that the SLR camera will not be wet by the rain.At this time, the phone rang again, and he looked at the phone while walking.

The news was sent by Ingrid, and Han Qi chatted with her about the current situation when she was bored just now.

"So are you going back now?"

"Going back, the boss gave me an umbrella, and the phone still has [-] battery power, but luckily there is only one way."

"Road crazy."

"Stop talking, the car is here."
