Themes and questions:
• Is Alexandria really a part of Egypt? – ad Aegyptum
• What are the limits to an urban history? Do cities really matter?
• Which Alexandria? How can we know it? (methodology and epistemology)

June 5, 2010 - January 2, 2011
The world of Cleopatra, which has been lost to the sea and sand for nearly 2,000 years, surfaces in this new exhibition, Cleopatra: The Search for the Last Queen of Egypt, making its world premiere at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. 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), the exhibition features never before seen artifacts, and takes visitors inside the present-day search for Cleopatra, which extends from the sands of Egypt to the depths of the Bay of Aboukir near Alexandria.
