Another member-suggested idea becomes a Meetup! This time it's a trip to the Science Museum, where the current exhibit is The Dead Sea Scrolls. From the Science Museum's website:

"The Dead Sea Scrolls are widely considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of our time. A priceless collection of 2,000-year-old documents that shed light onto a little-known period in religious history, the scrolls are some of the oldest surviving written documents in human history. Containing original texts from the Bible as well as writings that tell us about the laws and society of Jewish culture, the scrolls were discovered in a cave along the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea in 1947."

If the Scrolls don't float your boat, there's plenty more to do in the Museum, with three floors of exhibits and both an Imax and a 3D theatre. We'll gather in the lobby at 1:30 p.m., and afterwards (about 4:30) we'll go to Cossetta's for pizza, pasta, and a wide variety of other Italian culinary delights.
