Jerusalem Museum & Shrine of the Book

In this smaller museum we looked over a 1:50 scale model of Jerusalem during the Second-Temple Period. This was incredible to see the sheer size of the Temple compared to the rest of the buildings. The scale model allows you to see how all the different parts of the Old City were connected and how the people navigated around.

Following this we visited the Book of the Shrine exhibit. Here we saw replicas of some of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The most intact one they found is from approximately 7m long and dated at around 100BCE.En savoir plus
