Imagine strolling through halls filled with ancient artifacts, each piece whispering stories of past lives… 🎨🏺
At the Suzhou Silk Museum, curator Qian Zhaoyue is on a mission to turn museums into “the most beautiful place in each of our hearts.” He’s celebrating the release of the book All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me, penned by a former security guard who spent ten years walking the grand galleries of New York’s Met.
From guarding priceless masterpieces at dawn to locking up at closing time, the author’s first-person tales reveal how everyday moments can connect us to the power of art. 🌟
“I hope that museums can become the most beautiful place in each of our hearts,” Qian explains. “We keep returning, discovering the beauty of life through relics and art, and drawing strength from our culture.”
Through Qian’s passionate vision and the guard’s heartfelt stories, this book bridges East and West, showing young readers how relics aren’t just objects behind glass—they’re living threads in our own stories. Ready to explore? Let’s make every museum visit an adventure! 🚀
