Most nationwide tours involve a band, but a replica head of Richard III? After his skeletal remains were discovered in a car park last year, Richard III’s face was reconstructed using a 3D printing technique. The facial replica will makes stop throughout the UK this year, including the British Museum, with a final stop in Leicester in 2014.

Leicester is home to the Richard III visitor center, which is next to his grave site. The town will also play host this summer to many Richard III-themed events. Read more on the tour at The Daily Mail.
