INFORMATION ON DEAD SEA SCROLLS EXHIBITION
"Scrolls from the Dead Sea: The Ancient Library of Qumran
and Modern Scholarship" is a major exhibition at the Library of
Congress. The exhibition will be on view in the Madison Gallery
of the Library's Madison Building on Capitol Hill. Use the
Independence Avenue Entrance of the Madison Building, located
between First and Second Streets, S.E. The exhibition will be
open from April 29-August 1, 1993. The hours of the exhibition
are 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 1:00-5:00 p.m.
Sunday.
The Library does not charge an admission fee to its
exhibitions; however, because of the popularity of this
exhibition, timed-entry tickets are required. Beginning April
29, the first day the exhibition opens, the Library will
distribute a limited number of same-day tickets free of charge on
a first-come, first-served basis. These free, same-day tickets
will be available at the ticket booth just outside the entrance
to the Madison Memorial Hall, first floor, Madison Building.
They may be picked up starting one-half hour before the
exhibition opens for any available half-hour period each day.
The Library will not distribute advance tickets for admission on
another day. A free coat check is available in the Madison
Memorial Hall for this exhibition, as coats, packages, and most
personal belongings cannot be carried through the exhibition.
Photography will not be permitted in the exhibition. The Library
of Congress is located one block north of the Capitol South Metro
Station on the Blue and Orange Lines and five blocks south of the
Union Station Metro Station on the Red Line. Parking on Capitol
Hill is extremely limited, especially Monday-Friday. The
exhibition is accessible for persons with disabilities.
Advance tickets are available for a handling charge at all
TicketMaster locations, including Hecht's Department Stores in
the Washington/Baltimore area, or by calling TicketMaster in the
Washington, D.C. area at: 202-432-SEAT; in the Baltimore,
Maryland area at: 410-481-SEAT; or nationwide toll free at: 800-

days a week. Advance ticketing through TicketMaster has a
handling charge. Advance tickets may be obtained for any
available date during the entire three-month run of the
exhibition. An optional audio tour of the exhibition is
available for a fee. The audio tour may be rented at the Library
each day before entering the exhibition or it may be reserved
through TicketMaster, for an additional handling charge, when
arranging for advance tickets. For further information, contact
