But in terms of the quantity and quality of top-notch collections, the Grand Canal Museum is in no way inferior to the world's top museums. The only thing the Grand Canal Museum lacks is quantity.
The number of tens of thousands of collections sounds like a lot, but compared to the Forbidden City, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Louvre, which have millions of collections, the number of collections at the Grand Canal Museum is really very small.
However, the Grand Canal Museum has a lot of top-notch works, just like the three treasures of the Louvre are "Venus de Milo", "Winged Victory of Samothrace" and "Mona Lisa's Smile", but Yang Jing also has three bronze sculptures and Leonardo da Vinci's "Lida and the Swan"! They are not inferior to the three treasures of the Louvre.
The four most treasured treasures of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York are Degas' "The Dancing School", Duccio's "Madonna and Child", Royds' "Washington Crossing the Delaware" and the Temple of Dendur, but Yang Jing also has Leonardo da Vinci's "Portrait of the Sculptor", Raphael's "Smile of the Madonna" and "Madonna under the Tree" as well as authentic works by many other famous painters.
Everyone knows that no matter whether it is Degas, Duccio or Royce, how can they be compared with painters of the level of Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Ingres, Monet and Cézanne?
That's right, Yang Jing's collection does not have such a large collection as the Temple of Dendur, but Yang Jing has a golden scepter and a golden mask of Amenhotep III, the ninth pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, and a golden scepter and a golden mask of Amenhotep IV, the tenth pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt! In addition, there is also the scepter held by Her Majesty Queen Catherine when she ascended the throne and a set of golden imperial armor of King Philip V of Spain!
The combined value of these things is definitely not less than that of the Temple of Dendur, and it is even far more valuable!
Not to mention that Yang Jing also has 16 Easter eggs, handwritten manuscripts of famous writers such as Shakespeare, Tolstoy, and Hugo...
In the Western world, any one of these things would cause a sensation. Compared with these treasures, the works of Picasso and Van Gogh can only be regarded as ordinary museum collections!
If the country really agrees to bring the imperial seal, the Nine Cauldrons of Yu the Great imitated by Wu Zetian, the Twelve Golden Men of Qin, and the four Peking Man skull fossils to the Grand Canal Museum for exhibition, then Yang Jing really can't think of any other museum in the world whose top collections dare to challenge his Grand Canal Museum!
Therefore, these rare treasures in the Grand Canal Museum have an irresistible attraction to experts and masters, and this is also the source of Yang Jing’s confidence!
