The Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale, which has attracted more than 500,000 visitors to its current exhibit Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs, will follow that up with a major exhibition of biblical artifacts that trace the common origins of Judaism and Christianity, museum officials announced Tuesday.

The collection of artifacts, which date from the time of Jesus to the Seventh Century, includes one of the Dead Sea Scrolls; a burial ossuary of Caiaphas the High Priest, who according to the New Testament delivered Jesus to the Romans for trial and crucifixion; and a commemorative plaque inscribed with the name Pontius Pilate.

The Temple Scroll is the Dead Sea Scroll in the exhibit.
