课前预习案
Activity 1. Cultural corner
Louvre Museum was built on the right-bank site of the 12th-century fortress of Philip Augustus. It is the world’s most-visited art museum, with a collection that spans work from ancient civilizations to the mid-19th century.There are many priceless treasures housed within the Louvre, but three(三大镇馆之宝) that stand out above the rest are the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo,(米洛岛的维纳斯雕像) and Winged Victory of Samothrace(胜利女神雕像).
Fun facts: The museum receives nearly 9-10 million visitors every year. This averages to around 27,000 people per day!
There is only 35,000 objects on display and spread over 60,600 square metres, the Louvre houses over 380, 000 objects.
The Louvre is so big that it’s absolutely impossible to see everything in just one single visit even if you spend the whole day there.Actually, recent studies show that it would take 100 days to see every piece of art and that is if you spend just 30 seconds in front of every object.
Mona Lisa is quite small. Actually, most people are shocked when they first see it as it’s just 77 cm x 53 cm. This makes it just a bit bigger than an A2 piece of paper.Mona Lisa was stolen! This will probably never happen again considering the amount of security it has now but long before this, an Italian man named Peruggia stole it in 1911.
The “Wedding Feast at Cana”《卡纳的婚宴》 painting which is actually one of the largest painting in the entire museum was cut in half.
