Heather, I don’t know where it’s going next. Similar exhibitions have been held in other cities, but each one is unique in some ways. I’m sorry that I can’t be of more help. Linda

We went 2 years ago to this exhibit at the local science museum. I went with my Dad and 4 kids. It was very eye-opening and the scrolls were at the very end of the wandering through the other exhibits (interesting facts about the area they were found in and the history). They seemed to enjoy the hands on exhibits, but were burnt out by the time we got to the actual scrolls. They had the room darkened, but it was amazing to glimpse this history. We found a man who was part of the exhibit that was willing to write my daughters name out in arabic. It was well put together. .-= Heather´s last blog ..fill in the blank friday =-.

Minnemom,
We went to this exhibit a few years ago in Columbus. It was a stand-alone exhibit. We did have the kids or adult audio players. However, the scrolls were out of the exhibit the day we were there?? Bummer. Also, I think we would have liked this better if it wasn’t rooms and cases full of pottery chars. We would have especially liked it if we had all had the same level of old Testament bible study that I had had. Lots of explaining. I like the fact that your exhibit was a traveling space within your science museum – much better environment.
Because the space was a little boring for kids and the scrolls were missing, we choose not to recommend it to our readers on our web updates. I think teens would find more value in the space than kids.
