I went to the San Diego Natural History Museum to see the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibition that's going on until January 6th. If you are in the area, it is definitely worth your time.

They even have a section of the Copper Scroll on display!


The San Diego Natural History Museum’s exhibition Dead Sea Scrolls is the largest and most comprehensive exhibition of Dead Sea Scrolls ever assembled. Twenty-four Dead Sea Scrolls—10 exhibited for the first time ever—will be on display over the course of the exhibition.

Currently, 15 Dead Sea Scrolls are on display, including the oldest manuscript containing the Ten Commandments and a section of the Copper Scroll, the only scroll written on copper.

We've been to Israel and saw the Shrine of the Book in East Jerusalem:

Most of the Dead Sea Scrolls are located at two sites in Israel. One is the Rockefeller Museum in East Jerusalem, which is under the authority of the Israel Antiquities Authority and for which access is grated only to certified researchers. The other is the Shrine of the Book at the Israel Museum in West Jerusalem. Additional scrolls are found in the Amman Archaeological Museum in Jordan, and several fragments are in the French National Library in Paris and in the hands of private collectors.
But if you have no plans to go to Israel then definitely check this out here in USA ;) It sure is worth seeing.
