THERE IS ONLY ROOM FOR 73 STUDENTS. For the first time in Los Angeles—The California Science Center in cooperation
with the Israel Antiquities Authority is proud to present the largest Dead Sea
Scrolls exhibition ever mounted outside of Israel, featuring over 600 ancient
artifacts on display. This special exhibition explores the science and
significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls, manuscripts written and hidden in caves
2000 years ago and not discovered until 1947.
Interactive exhibits invite guests to experience the science of the Scrolls in a
new way. Practice writing in Hebrew and Greek, feel the difference between
papyrus and parchment, explore how carbon dating helps scientists determine
the age of the Scrolls, and reconstruct a ceramic pot by matching fragments
like restorers do.
OV-105 "Endeavour"
Endeavour successfully completed 25 missions into space, including the first
service mission to the Hubble Space Telescope, as well as the first mission to
add a U.S. component to the International Space Station.
Students will be able to see Endeavour up close and discover some of the
science behind this amazing vehicle. The pavilion will feature images and video
to introduce guests to Endeavour’s past missions and the crews who flew them.
