Chapter 7 A Trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Ask for Recommended Tickets, Ask for Clicks, Ask for Collections)

Leaving the apartment building, Ye Tian went directly to the subway station, and bought a mobile phone and a pair of sunglasses at a store on the side of the road. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The previous phone has been scrapped and thrown away, and a new one is really needed.

Buying sunglasses is to cover up, so that others will not see anything unusual when observing antiques in the museum, which will be a big deal!

When he walked to the subway entrance and was about to enter, he was startled by the scene in front of him and almost fell down the stairs!

I saw that the slightly dilapidated subway entrance in front of me was also like yesterday's antique pistol, emitting a white light, but it was not as pure as the light on the pistol, and it was a bit mixed.

Obviously, the New York subway is also an antique, which is why it shines.

However, due to the different ages of the buildings and the continuous tinkering in the follow-up, the light is mixed and inconsistent!

Ye Tian's mood quickly returned to normal, and then immediately put his sunglasses on his face, so as not to show his feet on the road.

He didn't bother to use the perspective function here, he had limited time! It would be unwise to waste it on a worthless subway.

Coming out of the subway station, I went to the SC area of Manhattan, and Ye Tian saw a lot of objects that emitted light, mainly historical buildings.

He found that as long as the building was more than 50 years old, it would glow white, but as in the case of subway stations, the light was mixed.

Modern architecture, on the other hand, has no shine, and although it is beautiful, it is not an antique.

At this time, although it was daytime in Manhattan, in Ye Tian's eyes, it was already brilliantly lit, and every few steps, he would see a historical building shining with white light throughout.

Fortunately, the white light is very soft and not dazzling, so I can enjoy it all the time, and my eyes will not be tired.

Just after half past ten, Ye Tian arrived at the gate of the Metropolitan Museum and began to queue up to buy tickets, waiting to enter the museum to visit.

Like other historic buildings, the Metropolitan Museum of Art also emits a white glow and is relatively bright, probably because it was built in 1870, which is relatively early.

Ten minutes later, Ye Tian walked into the gate of the museum with his ticket.

He didn't take two steps in, and Ye Tian's eyes began to flash with a shocked and even crazy look, fortunately there were sunglasses to cover it, otherwise it would definitely attract the attention of the security personnel.

What shocked him was the huge statue of the pharaoh standing at the entrance to the Egyptian pavilion.

When he approached the statue, he immediately saw that the whole body of the statue was glowing, dazzling, and very beautiful!

Unlike the white light emitted by the historical buildings outside, the pharaoh statue emitted a purple light, almost black purple!

"Wow, what's the situation? It's the same antique, how can there be such a big difference?"

Ye Tian's head was full of questions, and he desperately wanted to know the answer, but this was obviously not the place to study the problem, there were too many people!

Forcibly suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Ye Tian followed the flow of people into the Egyptian Pavilion on the first floor.

Why is the light of the pharaoh statue purple, and what is the color of the light of other antiques?

Walking into the exhibition hall, the shock immediately struck again.

There is a stone statue of a crouching lion from the fifth century BC at the entrance point, but the light seen by Ye Tian from its body is black.

The light emitted by the antique changes again!Why?

Through the introduction of the stone statue of the crouching lion and the age of the pharaoh statue at the door, Ye Tian quickly figured it out.

The age of the cultural relics is different, and the light emitted is different!

The pharaoh statue is about four or five thousand years old and emits a purple light, while the reclining lion is an artifact from seven thousand years ago and emits a black light.

At the same time, Ye Tian also discovered the limitation of the distance of the binocular ability.

Only within five meters of the antiques can you see their light, and beyond this distance, you are no different from ordinary people.

Knowing this, Ye Tian suddenly felt a little disappointed.

It's not that great! You have to get up close to it to be useful, and it's not like you can just scan the streets and find antiques that no one else can see.

At the same time, he is also a little glad that he doesn't have to wear sunglasses to hide it all the time!

If you don't have this distance limit, it's fun!

Fortunately in the United States, the history is not long, and naturally there are not many historical buildings, and the light changes are definitely limited.

If this were in China, or other countries with a long history, wouldn't it be a day long with neon lights flashing and your eyes blinded!

Then Ye Tian began to visit other cultural relics.

The cultural relics here are basically more than 3,000 years old, and the light emitted is all purple and black, with purple light being the majority, and there are differences in color shades.

After a lot of comparisons, he soon discovered the relationship between the age and the light of the artifacts in the exhibition hall.

During the comparison, Ye Tian also tried the perspective ability, trying to see the internal situation of the cultural relics.

But he quickly dispelled the idea, at least he was reluctant to try it in this exhibition hall.

The first attempt ended in failure.

He saw through a sarcophagus, and just like he had seen through the wall last night, his eyes couldn't penetrate the sarcophagus at all.

Realizing this, he immediately withdrew his gaze, lest he overdraw again and faint here.

The second time he saw through was a painted mummy wrapped in linen, and this time he succeeded!

But when he saw the petrified bones in the mummy, and the empty chest and abdomen, he was so disgusted that he almost vomited!

He immediately withdrew his gaze, and he no longer wanted to see through anything in this exhibition hall, lest he turn back and not be able to eat, or even have nightmares.

Through continuous experiments, Ye Tian gradually figured out some other characteristics of his eyes.

In addition to being able to see the light emitted by cultural relics and seeing through relatively thin objects, I can also see halos on cultural relics, layer by layer, less or more, it seems that the greater the artistic value, the thicker the halo.

This is especially evident in the murals, carvings and other cultural relics that reflect the life scenes of the ancient Egyptians, and the halo of some cultural relics can even reach dozens of layers!

From this, he remembered yesterday's Ruger P08, and that pistol also had a lot of white halos, but it was his first time encountering the ability, and he didn't understand what it meant to be valuable.

And he's also found that as long as he doesn't have clairvoyance, his eyes don't seem to have energy drain, and he can always see the light from antiques.

If you use perspective, you'll probably only have ten minutes of use, as you've come to the previous conclusion.

At this point, Ye Tian has almost figured out the changes in his eyes.

The next thing is to see what color the artifacts from other eras shine in.

If you understand these, you will undoubtedly be the most authoritative antique appraisal expert and art connoisseur! No antique or artwork can escape your eyes, and you can see the authenticity, age, value, and so on at a glance!

Of course, this can only be self-congratulatory! I can't tell anyone, although a little regret, it will bring you untold money and honor.

Thinking of this, Ye Tian was suddenly excited and about to go crazy.

"Go to the hell on Wall Street! You are now kneeling and asking Lao Tzu to go back, and Lao Tzu is not uncommon! With this ability, Lao Tzu can live 10,000 times more wonderful than before!"

After calming down, he continued to visit the exhibition hall, constantly testing his eyes and enriching his knowledge of antiques.

He lingered here for nearly an hour, studying it carefully with a learning attitude, and then left and came to the American Pavilion not far away.

The antique light changed again, and this time it was almost all red, and some were orange, and there were very few artifacts that emitted yellow and green light.

After coming out of the American Pavilion, it was already lunch time, Ye Tian didn't leave, he had an expensive lunch in the museum restaurant, and then began to visit other exhibition halls.

After visiting the European, Greek, and Roman pavilions on the first floor, he thoroughly understood the relationship between the light and the age of the artefacts.

Artifacts from fifty to one hundred years old appear white, one hundred to three hundred are red, three hundred to five hundred are orange, and five hundred to one thousand are yellow.

One thousand to one thousand five is green, one thousand five to two thousand is cyan, two thousand to three thousand is blue, three thousand to five thousand is purple, and more than five thousand is black.

The cultural relics at all stages are the same, the color is from light to dark, and the higher the artistic value, the more halo layers.

The purpose of coming to the Metropolitan Museum of Art has been achieved, and I have basically figured out what I am capable of!

In addition to the perspective ability, Ye Tian also determined a set of his own unique and most accurate methods for identifying antiques and artworks. These abilities will be the foundation for his future survival and prosperity.

Next, it's time to appreciate and experience the essence of human culture in the museum!

Since you will have to deal with antiques a lot in the future, it is very necessary to know the relevant knowledge, and the museum is undoubtedly the best place to learn this knowledge.

Ye Tian decided to take a certain amount of time every week to study here and the nearby Natural History Museum and Hayden Planetarium to accumulate relevant knowledge.

Relax today.

Soon, Ye Tian came to the RB Hall on the second floor.

He has no interest in RB culture, and although he has been to museums before, he has never entered RB museums.

The reason why I came in today was to see the famous "Kanagawa Surfing Map".

This painting is known as the treasure of the Metropolitan RB Museum, and it is the work of RB ukiyo-e painter Katsushika Hokusai, and it was completely blown into the sky by the RB people and enshrined as a god!

When he was working in Manhattan before, Ye Tian came into contact with some RB people, and every time they went to New York, they would come to worship this painting like a pilgrimage, and brag to everyone he knew how great and outstanding it was.

Since he came to the metropolis, Ye Tian wanted to see this painting.

He is ready to use his own method to identify and compare it with other masterpieces to see if it is really a great work as the RB people say, or whether the RB people boast about it!

As expected, the front of this print was surrounded by RB people, who were admiring the small painting while constantly sighing and praising with extremely intoxicated expressions!

Ye Tian stood two or three meters in front of the painting, staring at the painting hanging on the wall, and through the ability of his eyes, he instantly had a preliminary judgment on the painting.

The painting is undoubtedly genuine, emitting a red glow and a very dark color, in line with the early nineteenth century.

But judging from the halo layers on the periphery, the artistic value is not as miraculous as the RB people boast, it can only be said to be a masterpiece, and it is still a long way from a masterpiece.

If nothing else, there are many outstanding works in the museum, and there are far more halo layers than this one.

Ye Tian continued to watch, because of the distance and the small size of the painting, he looked very attentively, and under concentration, he unconsciously used the perspective ability, and his line of sight directly crossed the space and saw through the print.

This is the third time he's used perspective today since Perspective Mummy.

Suddenly, there was a cool and comfortable feeling in my eyes, and it seemed that there was a hint of joy!

Before he could react to what was going on, an unbelievable picture appeared in Ye Tian's eyes, which directly stunned him in place!
