While checking things for another thread I found that an exhibit of Egyptian artifacts is coming to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.

 

The link is here.

 

Titled "Cleopatra; The Search for the last Queen of Egypt" it showcases more than 250 artifacts, many that have never been displayed before. Artifacts are from both normal excavations in Egypt and recent underwater excavations in the harbour of Alexandria.

 

Full details are at the link.

 

I know we don't do plugs here, but this is going to truly be a "once in a lifetime" opportunity. I strongly urge any member or lurker here to make the time to see this exhibit if they have any interest at all in ancient Egypt.

I'll be rolling through philly in July. Could be worth a visit. I haven't been for the Franklin institute in years. Thanks for the tip!
