as announced, I visited the exhibition Alexander der Grosse at the Lokschuppen in Rosenheim (DE). The exhibition is of high quality and presents artifacts coming from the region of the empire that he conquered. Alexander was described by his contemporaries as a cruel person, inclined to the drunkness and thirsty of conquest and glory. It was said that he wanted to conquer all the land up to the Ocean at the end of Asia. But the exhibition permits to appreciate that he was also someone of different. He did not established a Macedonian empire but tried to fuse together all the different cultures and peoples of his empire, although the hellenism perfused all. His glory, after his short life, was also greather. Julius Cesar, Augustus, Traian, Hadrian and Caracalla visited his tomb in Alessandria (Egypt) and sometime opened his sarg to see his momie. Misteriuosly, the tomb disappeared in the 4th century A.D. Because, take images at the exhibition was not allowed, I can only propose you images of the exterior of the exhibition. Many information about Alexander, superstar of the Antiquity, and the exhibition at:
