Chapter 231 Greek Sculpture

"Normally not many people come to my place. Why do I charge a fee? Come in and take a look at my collection."

Grandma took Han Qi into this museum.

This is her home. It seems to be much larger than an ordinary family house. The area of ​​one floor is about two to three hundred square meters. It can barely be said to be a museum. And when Han Qi walked in, he realized

What exactly is on display here?

There are exhibition rooms on the left and right sides of the first floor, all in Greek style.

The exhibition room on the left uses various objects and texts to restore the birth process of ancient Greece. Of course, the paintings are the most numerous, and then there are various small sculptures. Han Qi can tell that these stone sculptures should be modern items, very new, but very different.

vivid.

"Aren't there any antiques?" Han Qi muttered in his heart.

No wonder we have to charge money. Although the descriptions of the development history of ancient Greece are more complete, systematic, and entertaining, they are not impossible to find online. So if there is a charge here, the managers probably won't make any 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 previous idea was wrong.

Big mistake.

There are actually real antiques here.

In the exhibition room on the right, what you see as soon as you enter is a gold mask. Han Qi can't tell whether this thing is genuine or not. Then there are some other things, such as bowls and reliefs. Although they are all small, you can tell that these things are

Old objects.

Han Qi didn't know how old he was.

The only thing he could distinguish was a life-size statue of a woman, standing in a posture of standing on a high place, looking down at the world. The clothes on her body were a very transparent robe, and most of her body was exposed. Her body proportions were

The size and shape are all perfect.

"So beautiful..."

It's amazing to be able to make a robe so translucent.

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

"Ahem."

Han Qi tried his best to pretend to be a gentleman, but it was obviously useless. His appearance just now was already seen.

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

.

It's definitely not because of the statue's good figure.

"Who is this statue?" Han Qi asked.

"It seems that you have no understanding of Greek mythology at all, otherwise you would know that this is Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, who is very famous."

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

"First of all, dear, this is a stone. It is not as fragile as you think, and I am also here. How could I let people destroy the statue?"

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

Many antiques here are not deliberately protected, and are best preserved. There is also a 20-centimeter bronze statue covered by a glass cover.

This should be Zeus. The main thing is to look at the weapons. The appearance of Poseidon and Zeus are similar in Han Qi's impression. If the weapon is a trident, it is undoubtedly Poseidon. No matter what other weapons are, they can be used.

Considered Zeus.

There is also a marble statue in the room, only twenty centimeters high, placed on the table.

This is the newest in the entire showroom and 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 no wonder, the exhibition room on the left should be full of her works.

The technology is amazing, these statues are very spiritual.

Han Qi wanted to pretend that he was also a sculptor, proficient in wood carving, and had some research on stone carving. But when he saw the look in his grandma's eyes that she loved her works the most, Han Qi couldn't say it. He always felt that he was capable.

It's too easy, and I'm a bit sorry for people who have spent their entire lives promoting this industry.

"Your works can definitely be placed in a major museum in London. They are very exquisite."

Han Qi has now seen both exhibition rooms and likes each one, although the antique is still his favorite.

"When I was young, I carved a lot of them and sold them all. They are also in museums, but what's the use? 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 and didn't answer.

However, she also began to introduce the origins of the things in this room to Han Qi. The largest statue of the Goddess of Beauty was indeed an antique. It came from more than 1,500 years ago and has been preserved by her ancestors to this day. It will also be passed down as a family heirloom in the future.

Go down.

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

When it was time to have dinner, the rain outside hadn’t stopped yet.

Han Qi stood at the entrance of the museum, watching the rain drip down the awning.

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 smoothly?

I asked my grandma and she said that the location here is relatively remote. Unless someone takes a taxi here, there are very few taxis passing by.

"Just eat at my place." Grandma said.

Han Qi thought for a moment and still refused.

Due to cultural reasons, people in Europe do not invite people when polite, so generally if a foreigner wants to treat you to a meal, that means he really wants to treat you to a meal. But Han Qi came here for the first time today, and everything was left in the hotel.

Now, my phone is almost out of battery.

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

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

"Thanks."

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

The rain outside was really heavy, and even holding an umbrella was almost as good as not holding an umbrella at all. His trousers quickly got wet, but the good news was that the SLR camera would not be caught in the rain. At this time, his cell phone rang again, and he looked at it as he walked.

cell phone.

The message was sent by Ingrid. Han Qi chatted with her about the current situation when he was bored just now.

"Then are you going back now?"

"As I walked back, the boss gave me an umbrella. My phone still has 16 battery life. Fortunately, there is only one way."

"Road crazy."

"Stop talking, the car is here."
