Don’t miss ‘The Dead Sea Scrolls’ exhibition

AN EXHIBITION of more than 100 artifacts spanning 5,000 years of human civilisation will soon be held in Singapore – the first country in Asia to showcase this extensive range of exhibits. Do not miss it.

“The Dead Sea Scrolls and The Ancient World” exhibition will be held at the Arts House, 1 Old Parliament Lane, from Aug 27 to Sept 20 from 10 am to 10 pm daily.

The exhibition will show fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls, arguably one of the most important archeological discoveries of the 20^th century. The majority of the Dead Sea Scroll manuscripts reside permanently at the Shrine of the Book in Jerusalem and very rarely are the fragments shown outside Israel.

The exhibition will also highlight the origins of the written language and how it evolved – on ancient clay tables, parchment and papyrus, and how it moves on to the modern era and the advent of printing press.
