Overview

In April 1965 the Scrolls from Cave 1 were permanently accommodated at the Israel Museum of Jerusalem in the Shrine of the Book; from 1965 to 1995 Magen Broshi would serve as curator of the collection. The international popularity of the Dead Sea Scrolls was enhanced by three major exhibitions, held at the National Museum of Natural History, Washington, DC (February 27 - March 21, 1965), at the University of Pennsylvania Museum, Philadelphia, PA (April 3-25, 1965), and at the British Museum London, England (December, 1965).

When the 1967 Six-Day War broke out, the Palestine Archaeological Museum fell into the hands of Israeli authorities and its collection of Dead Sea Scrolls was relocated to the Shrine of the Book, while the Copper Scroll was taken to the Jordan Archaeological Museum in Amman.
