Crowds flock to see Ten Commandments scroll in Cincinnati
The Cincinnati Museum Center had to stay open until midnight this past weekend to accommodate the long lines waiting to see its Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit.
On loan from the Israel Antiquities Authority, the fascinating "Dead Sea Scrolls: Life and Faith in Ancient Times" exhibit runs until April 14.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are of great historical and religious significance because they include the earliest known surviving manuscripts of text included in the Hebrew Bible.
The most famous is the Ten Commandments scroll, one of only two ancient manuscripts that feature the most important set of rules in the Western world, the foundation of the Jewish and Christian religions.
One is on display in Cincinnati; the other, known as the Nash Papyrus, is at Cambridge University in England.
The Museum Center negotiated for months with the Israel Antiquities Authority to get permission to show it.
Those interested in seeing the exhibit can reserve tickets by calling 513-287-7001 or going online to www.cincymuseum.org. Tickets are $23 for adults, $20 for seniors (age 60+), and $15 for children. Museum members get a discounted price.
The exhibit opens at 9 a.m. daily, and the staff has promised to add hours in the evening as needed.
