Dead Sea Scrolls in Seattle

Over on PaleoJudaica, Jim Davila notes that there will be a Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit in Seattle, over at the Pacific Science Center.

I'm really looking forward to it. Actually, one Saturday while the scrolls are in town (not sure which one, though), my employer (Logos Bible Software) is taking the whole company to see the show! So after I've seen what's there I'll be sure to report back.

Here's the exhibit web site, if you're interested: Discovering the Dead Sea Scrolls. They have some background on featured scrolls. They sound mostly fragmentary, though some interesting passages are represented. There are also some lectures associated with the scroll exhibit, though I don't know that I'll be getting down to Seattle for those.

Unfortunately, it appears that the Seattle exhibit is going to ignore all developments in research made over the past decade. There is now a blog devoted to this problem (see the address directly below), and a letter of complaint has apparently been addressed to the Pacific Science Center by a curator emeritus of The Jewish Museum in New York.
