I had a great time seeing the Dead Sea Scrolls! This was something I didn't think I'd ever get the chance to do again, and I'm really glad to have had the opportunity. I was postponing going because it was so expensive to attend the exhibit, but the half-off price that Gold Star offered convinced me to go.

I did not like how this exhibit was displayed. Because of the number of people seeing the exhibit it was very difficult to get close enough to view most items. The actual scrolls were especially difficult to see (I only saw one small section) because of the way they were displayed and the crowds. I'm glad my ticket allowed me admission into the rest of the museum, otherwise I feel the ticket would have been a complete waste of money.

The exhibit was excellent with a lot of background history. My favorite part was the brief video of the story of how the scrolls were found and "preserved" initially--with scotch tape! The line to get into the exhibit moved very slowly due to the pre-show that was limited to 65 audience members at a time.

content was terrific; presentation was problematic. Too much noise from different parts of the exhibit itself (speaker in first section could be heard in 2nd section while trying to read); 10 commandments & movie words drifted into fragment room as well (making it hard to read) as from the general museum in one passageway. We were not offered the audio aid and discovered this about 1/2 way through the exhibit. This would have enhanced our visit.
