Montréal's Museum of Archaeology and History at Pointe-à-Callière has an amazing exhibition opening this week: Archaeology and the Bible — From King David to the Dead Sea Scrolls. From the museum's page about the exhibition:
Pointe-à-Callière and the Israel Museum are collaborating on an exceptional exhibition of international scope, to be presented in Montréal. Archaeology and the Bible — From King David to the Dead Sea Scrolls will bring back to North America for the first time in half a century three important scrolls discovered at Qumran, on the shores of the Dead Sea.
The scrolls will be accompanied by some one hundred archaeological pieces of remarkable aesthetic quality and symbolic and historic significance, many of them never before seen outside the State of Israel. The exhibition will lead visitors from the days of King David, 1000 years BCE, up to the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans, in 70 CE.
Wow.
Here's an article about the exhibition from the Globe and Mail, Miracle of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
