More on the move of that Megiddo mosaic

DECORATIVE ART EXHIBITION UPDATE: On loan from Israel, rare mosaic floor to be flown to museum in Washington. A rare third-century mosaic from an ancient church in Megiddo will be displayed at Washington's Museum of the Bible for three months, then return to Israel for future exhibition in a planned visitor center at its original discovery site (Israel Moskovitz, Ynet News).

I have already noted this story. But the earlier article said the loan was for nine months. This brief notice says three. I don't know if someone has made an error or if the agreement has changed. (I've held onto this post for a few days to check other coverage. It looks as though the three-month period is correct.)
