The collection of archaeological finds dating back to the 11th Millen nium B.C.E. and covering some 11,000 years, will also be displayed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art from April 9, 1987 to July 5, 1987; and the Houston Museum of Fine Arts from Oct. 30, 1987 through Jan. 17, 1988. Among the items included in the exhibit are two of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest Hebrew texts of the Bible ever discovered. Almost the entire collection comes from archaeological exca vations of famous biblical sites in Israel. Most were uncovered in this century and none have been exhi bited outside the country to date. Dr. Martin Wyle, director of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, said he and his colleagues have planned the exhibit for 12 years and because it contains many of the national treasures of Israel, a copy of each item has been made. That work alone took a year, Wyle recently told a group of Jewish American leaders gathered here. The exhibit features finds from the Byzantine, pre-biblical and post-biblical eras. Wyle said it is not a Jewish exhibit, especially those parts with prehistoric articles. This is the first major exhibition which will give Israel international recognition by being displayed in the world’s leading museums like the Met, Wyle said. “I hope this exhibition will show another angle—the more normal angle of Israel, Wyle said. Michele Cohn Tocci, director of the American Friends of the Israel Museum, said the collection is com plex and can be better appreciated if the viewers come with some knowledge. For this reason, the Met has put out an eight-page explanation of the history of the periods and pieces in the exhibit. A group of young contemporary Israeli artists will also be mounted concurrently with this ancient col lection at the Met, Wyle said. “Treasures of the Holy Land Ancient Art from the Israel Mu seum” contains a historical gamut of all the archaeological periods between the 11th millennium B.C.E and the seventh century A.D. The exhibit covers the prehistoric era. the Neolithic period, the Chalcoli- thic era, the Bronze Age, Canaan- ite period. Iron Age and the Israe lite period. The First and Second Temple periods and the eras of Babyloni ans, Greeks and Romans are also represented in the exhibit. Some of the prized finds of the exhibit include the Habbakuk Commentary, one of the first and best preserved Dead Sea Scrolls dating back to the first century B.C.E. to the first century A.D. A stone mask found recently at Nahal Hemar in the Judaen desert dates back to about 7000 B.C.E. Ivories from the First Temple period, pottery and metal from the Canaanite period and ivory and pottery figurines from some of the earliest recorded human settle ments in the Near East will also be displayed.
