he Louvre and Lilliland
|
aron Von Lodge was the head of a small country known as Lilliland near Switzerland. The time was the early 1900s.
The Baron often talked with his fiancée Lady Angela of Alpine Castle and his chief advisor Professor Hamblin about bringing more of the fine arts to Lilliland.
Every time the Baron visited Paris he included a trip or two to the Louvre Museum to see the latest works of art on display for the entire world to see. The Baron decided to send Professor Hamblin to see if some of the art could be loaned to the Lilliland Museum for the people to see.
The Professor made several trips to meet with the officials of the Louvre Museum to make arrangements for the loan of some of the works of art. One of the conditions was that the current museum should be expanded and additional security provided for the art on loan.
The Lilliland architect submitted the necessary plans for the new additions to the museum to the Baron. He had Professor Hamblin take the plans to Paris to make certain that they would have full approval from the officials at the Louvre. The plans were approved and the Lilliland Museum had its new wing.
After the inspection was completed by the team from the Louvre, they selected the art that was approved to be on loan for a brief period to Lilliland. After the first period was over, other art was selected to follow. In this manner everyone in Lilliland had an opportunity to see much of the world’s most famous paintings.
The new addition to the Lilliland Museum also had a large space for local artists to display their works as local artists had a large following among the people of Lilliland.
The people were very proud of the new wing on the museum and were very grateful to the Baron, Lady Angela and Professor Hamblin for working so hard to make this possible.
