The world of Cleopatra, lost to the sea and sand for nearly 2,000 years, surfaces in Cleopatra: The Exhibition. Never-before-seen artifacts and multi-media atmospheres give visitors a front-row seat in the riveting present-day quest for Cleopatra VII, which extends from the sands of Egypt to the depths of the Mediterranean Sea.

More than 150 artifacts from Cleopatra’s world represent facets of her elusive history, from her family to the places she lived, walked and worshiped. These artifacts are on view in the U.S. for the first time, bringing with them new insights into the tragedies and triumphs of one of the most remarkable and intriguing leaders in history.

Organized by National Geographic and Arts and Exhibitions International, with cooperation from the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities and the European Institute for Underwater Archaeology (IEASM).
