How Retired Hedge Fund Manager Chris Levett Started a Museum MENU monday may 18 2020 How retired hedge fund manager Chris Levett started a museum Levett has always collected things, from football cards, war medals and old coins to classical artefacts. He reveals how his love of history, art and numbers helped to curate an international resource James Palmer Saturday May 16 2020, 6.00pm BST, The Sunday Times Art for art’s sake: Chris Levett at the Mougins Museum of Classical Art GIANLUCA TAMORRI Share Save CHRIS LEVETT RANK: 551= Hedge fund £222m ▼£3m 2019: £225m, 535= I didn’t set out with the idea of starting a museum — it just came about because I’d collected far more art, antiquities and ancient armour than I could ever display at home. It was the only fair thing to do — to get everything out and make it available to the public, for study and for easy loans to other museums. That’s one of the great strengths of the collection. We are digitising everything; it will all be online by the end of the year, allowing curators to see what’s available for loans. We recently loaned a 1st- or 2nd-century marble head of Odysseus with an 18th-century provenance to the British Museum for its Troy exhibition, which was amazing. Another favourite of mine is a bronze head of Augustus, also 1st-century, that was found in Rome in 1880 — it’s an incredible piece. It has some fire damage, believed to be from the Great Fire of Rome during Nero’s time, which burnt most of the city down. The oldest pieces are Egyptian and date back to about 2,400BC. When we opened the Museum of Classical Art in Mougins, in the south of France, in 2011, the idea was to juxtapose ancient and modern. I am fascinated by the way so many 20th-century artists were influenced by antiquity, so in a single cabinet you might find a 2,000-year-old torso of Aphrodite beside a bronze statue by Dali of Aphrodite as a girae. THE SUNDAY TIMES Rich List 2020 Browse our website to discover the full list, extended profiles, graphics, facts and figures The definitive guide to wealth I have always been a fanatical collector. Some people just have that addictive gene, I suppose; they collect buttons, or seashells, or football cards — or Damien Hirsts. In my case, as a child I collected not only football cards, which were all the rage in the late 1970s, but also First and Second World War campaign medals and Georgian and Victorian coins. There was a coin and medal shop along the street in Southend, Essex, where I grew up. It was fascinating to wander in as a kid and spend my pocket money there. We had a lot of family war medals at home, going back to the Boer War, and that was the spark of it. Most of my ancestors were in the army and my dad was with the Coldstream Guards in Malaya in the late 1940s — the last campaign fought by a family member. The Second World War was a constant topic in our house. My mum grew up in Finchley during the Blitz and had been evacuated. Her father was in the Metropolitan police, and was posted to Germany after the war, so they spent a couple of years in Germany. Mum visited the aftermath of two concentration camps when she was only 13. It had a huge impact on her then, and still does. I was born in 1970. I have three brothers and a sister, all much older than me. It was a very working-class background, really. I went to the local comprehensive school, where history quickly became my favourite subject. Our family holidays were spent in the UK, and we would always visit cathedrals, castles, the British Museum, the Ashmolean, or go to Roman villas — that sort of thing. The museum’s ancient Egypt display ALAMY At that time my father was a bookmaker. We would go to the dog track some evenings, and the racecourses at the weekend, so I grew up around betting. I think that environment gave me a head for probabilities and permutation scenarios from the age of about four, and I also saw the futility of gambling without a strategy on many occasions, first hand. Those experiences helped me hugely when I got a job in the City, aged 20, with a small brokerage house, and helped lead to a meteoric rise in earnings during my twenties and thirties. I was amazed at how many traders who had been there for years were novices in these arts. I didn’t go to university: I had a diploma in business studies and had been a photocopier salesman. In 1995 I joined the Paris oce of a New Jersey-based hedge fund called Commodities Corporation — famous for being one of the world’s first hedge funds when it was set up, in 1969, by a group of Princeton professors. I was single, trading commodities all week, going out every Friday and Saturday for a big night out, then getting up the next day with a huge hangover, like you do when you are 25 or so. I used to walk o the hangovers in the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay and the Picasso museum.

I was captivated by it all. I didn’t really collect cohesively — I just bought a picture from an art gallery if I really, really liked it. The first picture that I bought in Paris was in 1995 — a painting of a fire scene in Delft, created in the 1600s by a Dutch artist called Egbert van de Poele; I paid 100,000 French francs for it. It sort of went on from there. I had started collecting coins again in my twenties — Roman and Greek — and started buying Cromwellian armour and some medieval shields, crossbows and swords. Then in the 2000s this very large collection of ancient arms and armour came on the market from a German chap called Axel Guttmann, who had been collecting it until he died in 2001. So, much of the collection in Mougins today had already been collected by Guttmann, but in the past five or six years it has become almost impossible to find things with great provenance. A 2,000-year-old Roman urn that had been used for a table lamp in the 1970s RICHARD VALENCIA/MACM Recently I returned seven ancient helmets to Spain after I discovered they had been looted from an archaeological site 30 years ago. I had bought six of the helmets in 2008 and 2009 at auction in Germany. I’d bought the other one through a registered London dealer. The helmets had been looted in the 1980s, and in 2018 the two men responsible were jailed in Spain. The moment I heard about this, before the court case, I oered the helmets to the Spanish authorities. I’m not really adding to the antiquities side now. In the past six or seven years I’ve had a renewed interest in the postwar period and most of the art that I have bought has been modern or contemporary. So the collection at Mougins has become even more diverse. My father died of a heart attack 25 years ago, just before I went to Paris and before I had this huge escalation in earnings — so he never got to see the collection. But I’d like to think my mum’s quite pleased about the way things have turned out.

CONTENTS Preface 3 Introduction 4 I Cultural Pessimism and the ‘Islamisation’ Myth 5 II The Myth of International Muslim Power 8 III The Myth of Muslim Power in Britain 12 IV The Myth of a ‘Demographic Time Bomb’ 25 Conclusion: Against the Culture of Despair 29 References 31 PREFACE I am an atheist, a secularist, and an anti-fascist. I have no interest in defending Islamic religious beliefs, nor the Qur’an (quite the opposite, in fact). I also have no time for those who seek to ‘understand’ Islamism or downplay the abhorrent nature of religious fascism. That said, I am also committed to a rational and just approach to my fellow human beings, seeking to treat them in the same way, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, religious affiliation, and so on. To think Islam as a set of beliefs is false and potentially dangerous is not the same thing at all as thinking that all Muslims are inherently dangerous or that I should view them as qualitatively different to other human beings. In the post-9/11 West, we have seen the worrying growth of a paranoid, bigoted approach to Muslims which increasingly views them as an undifferentiated mass, as an inherent Other, and as a powerful fifth column conspiring to destroy the West and enslave it to Sharia law.

A NOTE ON THE PUBLICATION DATES OF CHRIS TOPIIE.R LE VE TT ’S A VOYAGE INTO NEW ENGLAND Christopher Levett’s/4 Voyage into New England is a well known narrative and promotional argument for colonization, and it has frequently been cited by modern scholars.1 Its com­ position and publishing history have, however, been treated in misleading fashion. The most substantial study of Levett is the indispensable account of James Phinney Baxter which indi­ cates that the tract was written and published in 1628.2 There was indeed an edition in 1628, and the circumstances surround­ ing its publication are clear enough. Levett was the beneficiary of an extraordinary proclamation issued by Charles I in Febru­ ary 1628 calling on the ecclesiastical authorities to take up a collection for the maintenance of the plantation in New Eng­ land; the monies were to be paid to Levett who was, by the same proclamation, appointed governor.3 The publication of Levett’s account at this juncture was clearly designed to stimu­ late support for the collection which was being undertaken at a most inauspicious moment.
