The Dead Sea Scrolls -- objects of great mystery, intrigue and significance -- are widely acknowledged to be among the greatest archaeological treasures ever discovered. This fascinating exhibition presents the story of the Scrolls' discovery and the science behind their conservation and interpretation. Twelve Scrolls will be on display (6 Scrolls per 3-month period) as well as artifacts from ancient Qumran -- all set in the context of what we know, how we know it, and what questions remain.
