Don't miss the only West Coast appearance of Cleopatra: The Exhibition at the California Science Center. This dramatically staged 13,000-square-foot exhibit features the largest collection of Cleopatra-era artifacts ever assembled in the U.S. Here for a limited time.

Come discover almost 150 priceless artifacts that had been swallowed by the sand and sea after a series of earthquakes and tsunamis nearly 2,000 years ago. Unearthed by two of the world's leading archaeologists Franck Goddio and Zahi Hawass, the exhibition features colossal statues, jewelry, coins, and handwritten notes from Cleopatra's lost palace in Alexandria, and reveals the excavation process involved in recovering these hidden treasures.

Walk among towering monuments and glittering jewels that may have been part of the queen's daily life. Learn how these Egyptian relics reveal mysteries of this past era. A complimentary audio tour, told in her voice, provides compelling insights into Cleopatra's time.

LIES. Cleopatra is only PARTIALLY Greek...but she was very determined to make sure that her Egyptian heritage was well known..She was a woman of color...not a White woman..and we DO know what she looks like. There are coins that have been found with her face etched on the coin. She was also not this "beautiful" everyone wants to make her out to be. Why? Lie because two powerful Roman men were attracted to her? Well, that is nothing new. I wanted to go to this, but now, I'm not so sure.
