对于富豪而言,当黄金白银不足以成为区别他们的简单符号时,历史和文化的人文因素,成为他们追逐品位的新象征就成为必然——博物馆或美术馆是用消耗物质财富来创造精神财富的地方,以收藏者之名建立对公众开放的私家美术馆、博物馆,成为超级富豪们一处充满诱惑和野心的战场。事实上,早在几百年前,这股风潮便已经在欧美的贵族名仕中流行开来。英国伦敦的约翰·索恩爵士博物馆便是这样一个有着悠久历史的古老艺术圣地。约翰·索恩是英国18世纪末、19世纪初的建筑大师之一,他的一生收藏颇丰,最终索性将自己的豪宅精心设计为一个私人博物馆。进入博物馆的人都会产生一种恍若隔世的幻觉,而从古埃及一直到索恩所在的时代,几千年的设计主题的发展演变,都可以在这里找到轨迹。 For the wealthy, when the gold and silver are not enough to be the simple symbols that differentiate them, the historical and cultural humanities become the new symbol of their pursuit of taste - museums or art galleries create spiritual wealth by consuming material wealth , Set up private art galleries and museums open to the public in the name of collectors and become a tempting and ambitious battlefield for the super rich. In fact, as early as a few hundred years ago, this trend has already become popular among elite elites in Europe and the United States. Sir John Thorne Museum in London, England is such an ancient art site with a long history. John Thorne, one of Britain’s master architects of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, collected his entire life and finally managed to design his own mansion as a private museum. Everyone who enters the museum produces a paradoxical illusion, and from ancient Egypt to Thorne’s era, thousands of years of design themes can be found here.
