THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS EXHIBITION in Charlotte has drawn a much larger crowd than was expected:
Learn more about Dead Sea Scrolls

(Charlotte Observer)

Tickets will be sold at the door tonight for a lecture on the Dead Sea Scrolls -- the sacred objects explored in the exhibit that drew 9,200 people to Discovery Place in its first three days.

[...]

That's double the 4,600 they were hoping for in those three days. I'm not surprised -- the Scrolls seem to generate endless public interest.

The article also notes that Shalom Paul of the Hebrew University will be lecturing in Charlotte on the Scrolls later today.
