Alexander The Great visits Sydney

This school holidays I visited the Alexander The Great Exhibition at the Australian Museum (Sydney). My favourite part was seeing all the ancient artifacts. Especially those that showed Heracles and some of the other Greek Gods and Goddess'.
I especially loved the coins or "Tetradachma's on display.
The exhibition is definitely worth going to http://www.alexandersydney.com.au/the-exhibition/about/
My favourite picture in the exhibition was of Alexander meeting the hermit Diogenes. The story goes that Alexander on meeting Diogenes offers to give him anything he wants and Diogenes responds "Get out of my Sun light" - Very Funny!
