Toronto will play host to some of the most famous historic writings in the world. Starting next summer the ROM will display the Dead Sea Scrolls in Canada's first large scale exhibition of the historical artifacts.
Listen to Lisa Naccarato's report on the Dead Sea Scrolls Exhibit
The more than two thousand year old biblical manuscripts will be on display for six months from June 27, 2009 to January 3, 2010 in what the premier feels will be an exhibition that will draw visitors from across North America.
"This truly is a once in a lifetime chance to see these historical writings. This will be the largest collection of the scrolls on exhibit outside of Isreal's borders."
In all, 16 of the dead sea scrolls will be on display including fragments from the book of Genesis.
