Making its majestic debut at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is Cleopatra: The Search for the Last Queen of Egypt (June 5, 2010-January 2, 2011). Touring five North American cities, the exhibition presents more than 250 artifacts that describe archaeologists' recent attempts at locating the elusive tomb of the enigmatic Cleopatra VII (69-30 B.C.), Ptolemaic Egypt's legendary last queen, and Roman general Mark Antony (83-30 B.C.), antiquity's most famous pair of ill-fated and clandestine lovers.
Dennis Wint, President and CEO of the Franklin Institute, said, "We look forward to welcoming this magnificent queen to our halls, and to be the first in the world to share with visitors new discoveries from her life, which are being achieved with the help of advancing science and technology."
