Traveling Artifacts from Israel

Some of the artifacts from the recently closed Archaeology wing of the Israel Museum are moving around the U.S. these days.  The “Cradle of Christianity” exhibit includes New Testament-related finds including a Dead Sea scroll, Caiaphas’ ossuary, Pilate inscription, menorah etching, and place of trumpeting inscription.  The exhibit began its travels in Ohio, but has moved on.

Until April 15, 2007 the exhibit is in Florida at the Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale.

From June 16 to October 14, 2007, the exhibit will be in Atlanta at the Michael C. Carlos Museum of Emory University.
