Exhibition :: In search of the real Cleopatra. Colossal sculptures, bronzes, ceramics, coins, gems and even caricatures trace Cleopatra's VII's life and liaisons with the two great Roman leaders of the day, Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Newly identified images of Cleopatra feature alongside Hellenistic and Roman representations. The myth of Cleopatra is traced to the present day through paintings, ceramics, jewellery, plays, opera and cinema.
