Yesterday I went to Cincinnati to see an exhibit on Cleopatra VII, the last queen of Egypt. Personally, she's one of my favorite women in history just because she was incredibly intelligent and extremely educated, and she tried to help Egypt grow and stay independent from the Roman Empire. Although she ultimately failed, she's still one of, in my opinion, the bravest and heroic women who ever lived.
The exhibit was good, though I'm not sure it was worth the $20/ person that the museum charged. But it was set up really well and they had a lot of ancient and interesting artifacts, and it was really informative. Being a die-hard Tut-Nut and Egyptian freak, I had a lot of fun, and it made me really want to study Egyptology. I don't have any pictures from the exhibit, but I do have pictures of the Museum Center in Cincinnati, which was almost as interesting as the Cleopatra exhibit.
The Museum Center is the old train station, and I walked into it and immediately wished that I could see it when it was in use, during the 1930s and 1940s. It would have been really cool. I think, that if Atlas Shrugged were to be made into a movie, then that's where it should be filmed. Maybe not in the actual city, just in the train terminal. It's perfect for the Taggart Terminal that Rand writes about in the book. Now, if I can figure out how to upload pictures, i'll get them on.
