Dead Sea Scrolls are coming to Houston

COMING EXHIBTION: Dead Sea Scrolls come to Houston (AARON HOWARD, Jewish Herald-Voice).
Beginning Nov. 21, the Houston Museum of Natural Science will host the historic 75th anniversary tour of “Dead Sea Scrolls: The Exhibition.”

The exhibit will feature more than 200 of Israel’s National Treasures. Due to the fragile nature of the 2,000-year-old manuscripts, original Dead Sea Scroll fragments will rotate three separate times during the exhibition run, allowing visitors the ability to experience different texts.

The article includes some good background and an informative interview with specialist Prof. Matthias Henze.
