A really excellent exhibit is being offered by Bayside Church in the San Francisco area and then Azusa Pacific University in the Los Angeles area. Looks like it's worth making a point of visiting if it's at all within striking distance of where you are. And there's an app that supplements the exhibit visit.
Never has the past been so present. Bayside Church and Azusa Pacific University are excited to bring you From the Dead Sea Scrolls to the Bible in America. It is one of only a handful of exhibits of its kind in the United States. Not only will the exhibit include some of the earliest discovered Dead Sea Scrolls, but it will also present parts of the oldest Greek New Testament papyri, as well as pages from medieval and early printed Bibles. In addition to the Biblical pieces, there will be several archaeological artifacts throughout the exhibit that highlight life in the region during the times the scrolls were written.
Hi Melinda,
Actually Bayside Church is nearer to the Sacramento area.

It should be interesting. I'm looking forward to checking it out.
Thanks for the blog; I didn't know that it was in the area.
