The ancient Greek hairdressers were truly something else~

[Trick] The Chengdu Museum's summer popularity speaks for itself. For a better experience at the new special exhibition on the first floor, I highly recommend visiting during the evening hours. [Yeah] All my 📷 photos of empty halls were taken between 7:30 PM and 8:20 PM~ [Chuckle] Here's a fun discovery—the ancient Greek 🗿 sculptures all have different hairstyles, and each one is incredibly intricate. The complexity rivals modern hairstyles for important banquets. [Laugh] Makes you wonder, were the ancient Greek hairdressers a group with ✨aesthetic sense, ✨social status, ✨creativity, and ✨interesting souls? [Idea] Setting aside the complicated names of ancient Greek and Roman mythological figures, we see art and aesthetics completely different from those of China during the same period. [PuzzleUU] Here are some questions for you: 1️⃣ Why do these 🗿 sculptures seem to lack eyeballs? 2️⃣ Why does the Zeus 🗿 sculpture at the entrance have front and back 💪🏻 muscles that look like they belong to different people? (The front looks athletic, while the back seems untrained.) 3️⃣ Why are ancient Greek sculptures mostly of gods, while Roman sculptures focus more on humans? [Clap] If you haven’t visited the Chengdu Museum’s first-floor exhibition *Epic of Civilizations*, I suggest pondering these questions beforehand. Researching and thinking about them will make your museum visit much more rewarding. [Congratulate] If you’d like a guided tour, the museum offers free public lectures at different times as well as paid tours to suit different needs. [Yeah] For the children’s tour, I listened to Teacher Wu Xueying from Huafeng Lecture Hall. [Cute] The full two-hour session was packed with fascinating stories and insights. [Awesome] My museum trip was totally worth it, and I hope yours will be just as 📷 enjoyable, knowledge-packed 🈵🈵, with stamp collectors [StarEyes] unable to stop, and souvenir shoppers 💰 leaving satisfied!
