Highlights from the Israel Antiquities Authority: The Dead Sea Scrolls and 5,000 Years of Treasures
This exhibition includes rotating examples of the rare and precious Dead Sea Scroll fragments in addition to artifacts spanning over 5000 years, from the Chalcolithic Age (4,000 BC) to the Fatimid Period (11th century AD). The Dead Sea Scrolls are one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in history. Uncovered by Bedouin herders and excavated by archaeologists in caves along the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea, fragments of the scrolls were pieced together to form more than 800 documents, many of them Biblical and Apocryphal manuscripts. All of the treasures on view are on loan from the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), and most have never been seen outside of Israel.

Hopefully some Jamati members living in and around San Francisco will visit the museum to see this exhibition, and report on the Fatimid Coins and Jewellery that are on view.

A few years ago I saw an exhibit of the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Canadian Museum of Civilisation in Gatineau, Quebec, just accross the Ottawa River from the Canadian Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, Canada. It was awesome!
