Ancient Jewish manuscripts dating back 2,000 years on display at Reagan Library

Titled "Dead Sea Scrolls: The Exhibition," the display showcases IAA's archaeological finds. The Scrolls are believed to date back to 250 BCE to 68 CE.

The museum spans 125,000 square feet, consisting of both permanent and temporary galleries, according to the library's site. 

David Trulio, Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute president & CEO, said it is an honor to host the Scrolls on the 75th anniversary of their discovery.

Along with the eight Scrolls, there will be 200 additional artifacts on display.

Guests can learn about the role of sacred spaces through the Magdala Stone, which shares the history of synagogues.

The Sea of Galilee Boat is a fishing boat from the first century CE that was discovered on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, according to the press release.

Small stone receptacles used for secondary burials, known as ossuaries, will be on display as well. 

"These ossuaries teach us about early Jewish beliefs regarding the afterlife as well as the importance social structure given to family life and death," says the release. 

Ticket pricing starts at around $29.95 for general museum admission, which includes the exhibit.
