Want to see the Dead Sea Scrolls without taking a trip to Israel? Thanks to technology, you can now view them online.

"We are privileged to house in the Israel Museum's Shrine of the Book the best preserved and most complete Dead Sea Scrolls ever discovered," said James S. Snyder, Anne and Jerome Fisher Director of the Israel Museum. "They are of paramount importance among the touchstones of monotheistic world heritage, and they represent unique highlights of our Museum's encyclopedic holdings. Now, through our partnership with Google, we are able to bring these treasures to the broadest possible public."

About damn time. The small 1x1 square inch patch on display at the ROM in Toronto was pathetic. Lol.

Yes but seeing a photograph is not the same. That's like saying I've experience the Louvre because I've seen digital copies of their works of art.
