May 29, 2012 by Cornelia Leave a Comment

Two Scientists in Search of Historical Truth and Evidence

“CLEOPATRA” at the California Science Center in Los Angeles

Having been an intriguing figure already in her lifetime, Cleopatra became a legend that’s been kept alive throughout the centuries. Historians, authors and filmmakers alike have gotten inspired by her life , her story and her much appraised exceptional  beauty.

An expansive show that started on Wednesday, May 23, at the California Science Center in L.A. tries to shed light on this legend. With help of the discoveries of the ancient submerged Royal Quarters of Alexandria and the lost cities of Heracleion, Menouthis, Canopis and others, the exhibition is putting the many historical puzzle pieces together to find out: who was Cleopatra really?

The visitor gets immersed into the ancient world of Egypt by enormous statues, amazingly preserved and beautiful jewelry  and other artifacts from that time that have been recently recovered by archeologists Franck Goddio and Zahi Hawass. An audio tour, provided to every guest as part of the exhibition experience, is guiding through the exhibition in “Cleopatra’s voice”.

“Cleopatra” is on view from May 25 to December 31 at the California Science Center. It is the only West Coast appearance.

To enhance the experience of ancient Egypt the movie “ Mysteries of Egypt” shows at the IMAX theatre at the museum at the following movie times – May 23, 2012 – June 28, 2012 , 10:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., 3:30 pm, (5:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday only)

Tickets for the exhibition are $19.75 for adults and $12.75 for children.
