Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit at St Paul Science Museum
On Sunday, we went to the Science museum to see that Dead Sea Scrolls exhibition. My friend was supposed to go with her boyfriend and I talked Boris into going. By the day we were supposed to go, her boyfriend changed his mind and Boris kept changing his mind.
So, finally we decided that we would go without men. We suspected that if they go, they would just complain about everything. We finally met, got in the car and started driving. We drove for about 5 minutes when Boris called and said that he changed his mind and he wants to come with us. So, we returned back, picked him up and went to St. Paul.
Tickets to this exhibit are very expensive. We paid $56 for two of us. Boris was mad about that! My friend got a good deal, because her son gets reduced price lunch at school and she paid only $6. As we walked into the exhibit area there was a short presentation and also, they gave each of us a radio. Different exponents had numbers and if press those numbers it will tell you a story about it.
Boris went over a few rooms of the exhibit and he got bored. I was taking my time and Boris was mad at us that it takes such a long time for us to go further. There was a lot of stuff to read and figure out what this exhibit is all about.
The museum is trying to meet expectations of all popular religions in our town, so in addition to Dead Sea Scrolls that mainly focused on Jewish culture and just a little bit Christianity they have a movie about Arabia and final rooms of the exhibit talk about St. John’s bible.
The scrolls and some other artifacts are fascinating because they are 2000 years old. There were some fabrics, nut shells, fruit seeds, and other objects that were found in those caves. The scrolls were hidden in limestone buckets and because the climate is very dry, they were safe. This website gives 25 cool facts about the scrolls.
There were only 4 scrolls on display in a dark room and hidden under the glass and many other layers of something to protect them. A lot of the scrolls were ruined by the scientists because they used plastic to cover them and studied them under the sun light.
I would say that it was pretty educational, but to say the truth, price is the rip off! One cannot get the pass only to the exhibit without getting admission ticket to the whole museum. I don’t think that the exhibit is worth that much. Well, the price for the Dead Sea scrolls was $11 per person (which is OK if only $11), however, we had to pay general museum admission that is $17 per person.
Boris was talking about that and kept telling me that for this price he could have gone to a concert or a sport game. I regret that I returned to get Boris with us. Men!!!
