EXHIBITION:
Jerusalem Museum Untangles History of the Color Blue, From Biblical Hue to Ancient Royalty. The show inks out the history of the enigmatic sky blue dye known as ‘tekhelet.’ I
noted this exhibition at the Jerusalem Bible Lands Museum last May. This Smithsonian piece by Meilan Solly collects the media coverage of it.

telekhet dye in the Bible etc., start
