Dead Sea Scrolls opens in Philadelphia with 10 scrolls from the Hebrew Bible as its focal point. A second set of 10 scrolls will then replace the first set due to limits on the amount of light the ancient paper can be exposed to over time. The exhibition is presented by PECO in the Mandell Center at The Franklin Institute. Open daily 9:30am-5pm Monday through Wednesday and 9:30am-8:30pm Thursday-Sunday and requires special timed tickets in addition to regular museum admission. Advance reservations are encouraged. Special ticket packages and more information are available on the TFI website fi.edu/scrolls, or by calling 215-448-1200.
