When these famous paintings suddenly appeared in large numbers, everyone understood that the owner of the Grand Canal Museum must have opened a long-dormant treasure, or discovered a shipwreck containing enough treasures, which allowed him to obtain so many extremely precious treasures.
In addition, there are handwritten manuscripts of Shakespeare, Tolstoy, and Hugo. These things are more precious treasures to archaeologists than those famous paintings!
Of course, the three bronze sculptures made those who knew about it drop their jaws.
It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of the level and quantity of top treasures, this small Grand Canal Museum is even better than the treasures of the world's five largest museums!
The Grand Canal Museum has been open for several months, and the precious collections have been known to many foreigners. However, so many precious treasures have suddenly been concentrated in an unknown private museum in China. The first thought that many foreigners had after receiving the news was that these things must be fakes.
Of course, the sudden appearance of so many treasures also attracted the attention of many Western archaeologists. In order to identify the authenticity of these treasures, a group of famous archaeological and cultural relics experts, led by the CAOs, or chief appraisal officers, of four of the world's five largest museums, gathered together and came to Tianqu in a group. After approving the application for appraisal of these treasures, these dozens of experts who are very famous in the industry began the appraisal work that lasted more than two months.
The attention of antique art lovers all over the world has been attracted by this appraisal work. Now, the results of this appraisal process are about to be announced to the world, which will of course attract the attention of many heavyweight media.
At least hundreds of millions of people around the world are paying attention to this matter now. If these media do not report the press conference live, it would be a dereliction of duty.
At 9:15, the reporters who were stuck outside began to move quickly into the large press conference hall on the second floor of the Guangda Building under the guidance of the staff.
This hall is the largest room in the entire Radio and Television Building, occupying almost half of the second floor, with an area of more than 600 square meters. It is said that this press conference hall is not only responsible for large press conferences, but also for some meetings and even performances. After all, the small Tianqu may not hold any large press conferences throughout the year, so this hall is often used to hold various meetings and performances.
In ten minutes, more than 300 reporters entered the hall. All kinds of cameras were set up, and some photographers were busy debugging the equipment.
At 9:30, a team of more than ten people led by Wang Jiazan came in from the side door and sat at the front desk of the press conference room according to their respective positions. As the director of the Grand Canal Museum, Wang Jiazan sat on the left side of the main spokesperson.
As for Yang Jing and Gege, they were here just for show. They sat in the left corner of the front row and were the only two people who seemed relaxed and contented in the audience.
The main spokesman for today's press conference is Mr. Jean Erdo, CAO of the Louvre.
Jean Erdo is the chief appraiser of the Louvre and has a very high status in the Western art world. He is in his seventies and has many disciples in Europe and even North America. Most of these disciples hold important positions in museums in various countries, either as administrative staff such as directors or deputy directors, or as important technical staff such as chief appraisers who work on the front line.
He was also one of the initiators of this group appraisal. It was quite a coincidence that when the Grand Canal Museum opened, one of Mr. Erdo's disciples and friends happened to be traveling in China. At that time, the two of them were visiting Yanjing with their families. As a result, when they were browsing the news online at night, they saw the news that the imperial seal would be exhibited for the first time.
Although they were Westerners, they had heard of the name of the Chinese Imperial Seal. They had never expected that the Imperial Seal, which had been missing for more than a thousand years, would be found. So after discussing it, they simply let their wives and children continue to travel in Yanjing, and they took two days off to come to Tianqu to see the Imperial Seal.
As a result, on the first day of the Grand Canal Museum's opening, the treasures on display made this industry insider almost drop his jaw in astonishment, especially the famous oil paintings, the three bronze sculptures, and the handwritten manuscripts of the famous artists...
Then he immediately called his teacher and told him everything he saw at the Grand Canal Museum.
After receiving the call, Jean Eldo had some doubts that his student was lying, but then he thought it was not right. His student was the chief appraiser of the Swiss National Museum in Zurich, which was the most famous and largest museum in Switzerland. If this student could feel incredible, there must be a reason.
So Jean-Eldo started to search, and it turned out that the small Grand Canal Museum actually had so many precious collections. So he applied to the Grand Canal Museum for the identification of these treasures, and at the same time, he organized a team of experts, which eventually led to this two-month identification operation...
