2006.11.5. Dead Sea Scroll exhibition at Pacific Science Center. Well organized. Audio guide. Background and research methods also presented. Each of the dozen of so original fragments is displayed in a climate controlled glass box with lights switches on and off automatically, accompanied by enlarged copy, its translation and description. A brief lecture precedes the timed exhibit. Arrived too late for the reception (actually good food).
Stopped by the butterfly dome after the tour, where the butterflies can easily land on your shoulder.
