My visit to the Cleopatra exhibit in Los Angeles
I was excited to finally see the much anticipated Cleopatra exhibit! Here are some photos of my recent visit to Cleopatra: The Exhibition (Cleopatra: The Search for the Last Queen of Egypt) by National Geographic at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. I would also recommend seeing The Mysteries of Egypt at the museums IMAX theater.
 |
| The screen rises and Cleopatra: The Exhibiting begin |
 |
| Cleopatra, herself, would have walked past these 16-foot-tall colossal figures of a Ptolemaic king and queen, on her way to the Temple of Amon at Heracleion |
 |
| The god Sarapis was a Ptolemaic invention, a merging of Egyptian & Greek gods. His name blending the Egyptian & gods oSIRis & APIS, but his flowing hair & beard were Greek. By combining Greek & Egyptian religious figures, the Ptolemies gained the people's trust |
 |
| Portrayals of Cleopatra in art through the ages |
 |
| The immense wealth of the Egyptian pharaohs inspired awe & envy throughout the ancient world. As pharaoh, Cleopatra received a percentage of the assets of each of her subjects |
 |
| Sphinx (Ptolemy XII) - 1st c. B.C. Two sphinxes stood guard outside the Temple of Isis at Cleopatra's palace. The head of this resembles Cleopatra's father, King Ptolemy XII, who was also known as Auletes, "the flute player" |

Cleopatra Through the Artists Eye: George Barbier

The Romance of Perfume - Egypt
George Barbier (1882–1932), French
"The Romance of Perfume by Richard Le Gallienne (1928) published by The Richard Hudnut Company (New York - Paris) to promote their wares. They obviously had the phrase "lavishly illustrated" in mind when they chose Barbier to provide scenes from the history of perfume making and use around the world, and this is certainly what he delivered."
