SINGAPORE: Singaporeans will be treated to a touch of history spanning over 5,000 years through the Dead Sea Scrolls and The Ancient World exhibition at The Arts House.
More than 100 artefacts will be featured in the exhibition — a first in Asia.
The exhibition includes four fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest—known Hebrew manuscripts of the bible.
Also on display is the Lunar Bible, so called because it is the first bible to be taken to the moon.
Visitors will also be treated to one of the earliest forms of written expression via clay cuneiform tablets.
They can also view the names of Polish Jews who survived the Nazi occupation through a Holocaust Survivor Scroll.
The Dead Sea Scrolls and The Ancient World exhibition opens Thursday and will run till September 20.
