Of course, this is a clever way to get people into see the exhibition at The Franklin Institute Science Museum.

The Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation (GPTMC) is having some fun with the former Queen of Egypt by running this classified ad to promote Cleopatra: The Search for the Last Queen of Egypt, a world-premiere exhibition on view at The Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia through January 2, 2011.
Two ads will appear over three consecutive weeks beginning Friday, September 17 in a dozen alternative weeklies, including The Village Voice (NY), Creative Loafing (Atlanta), Chicago Reader, Washington City Paper (DC), The Boston Phoenix, Philadelphia Weekly and Philadelphia City Paper. This mini marketing blitz marks the first time GPTMC has run a classified ad campaign.
Respondents to the ads are directed to findcleopatra.com. The site offers congratulations, a free pair of exhibition tickets to the first 100 respondents and a link to www.visitphilly.com/cleopatra for official information about the show.
