A new exhibition on Cleopatra is coming to Philadelphia next June, and it will be a worldwide premiere.
"Cleopatra, The Search for the Last Queen of Egypt" is coming to the Franklin Institute in June 2010, brought by the same people behind the King Tut exhibit that wowed thousands in 2007.
Troy Collins is senior vice president of marketing, programs, and business development for the Franklin Institute. He says the exhibit's artifacts will come from two exciting sources:
"Land sources from the famous explorer Zahi Hawass [above right], as well as some new outstanding and visually stunning objects that have been recovered from under the Bay of Alexandria by explorer Franck Goddio [top photo]."
The exhibition will center on the search for Cleopatra's tomb, which is still going on.
The exhibit will be at the Franklin Institute through New Year's week, 2011.
