CINCINNATI - Experts at the Cincinnati Museum Center are installing ancient golden treasures in the Cleopatra exhibit Tuesday.

They largest artifact, the five-ton granite statue of the colossus king, was installed in January.
Once completed, the exhibit will include 150 ancient artifacts, and will be on display until September 5.
