Complementing the lithographs are a number of precious objects from the Holy Land, including two significant fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls - the oldest copies of the Old Testament - and the House of David Inscription, the earliest mention of the House of David outside of Biblical text. This exhibition marks the first public display of the House of David Inscription in the U.S. and the first time in more than 30 years that the Dead Sea Scrolls have been shown in California.
