A DEAD SEA SCROLLS EXHIBIT IN GRAND RAPIDS:

I think I may have already blogged on this exhibit in Michigan but, just in case, here's some information. This is the museum's website on the exhibit, and here's a sound bite from it:

"The Dead Sea Scrolls" exhibition will include fragments of 12 different scrolls, including fragments from the books of Exodus and Psalms. There are also numerous artifacts from Qumran, the ancient Judaean settlement located near the caves where the scrolls were discovered, including ancient coins, leather sandals, a scroll storage jar, and a pottery inkwell believed to be connected with the writing of the Dead Sea Scrolls.


And here's an article from the Calvin College Spark with more information and links:

"Dead Sea Scrolls exhibition in Grand Rapids Michigan"

The exhibit runs from February to June.
