I'm really looking forward to this. The Dead Sea Scrolls exhibition here in Grand Rapids was quite a dud, overpriced, and (I heard) resulted in a loss for the "Museum Center" (what most people would call a museum).

Neal Bierling wrote a book on the Philistines which is online.

"The most comprehensive exhibit ever presented on the ancient middle eastern city of Petra comes to Grand Rapids, Michigan for the third and final leg of its U.S. journey, featuring over 200 exceptional objects — many on display for the first time in North America.

"Petra is the site known to the Apostle Paul and Herod the Great, Mark Anthony and Cleopatra, and even the fictional movie character Indiana Jones."

Opening day bump.

Wowzo, I went to this today, opening day, and really enjoyed it. A nice mixture of monumental art -- from ancient amateurish to highly skilled -- a modern topographic presentation, three different video presentations, readable text, and appropriate background music. It is worth seeing, and I may wind up going again, perhaps near the end of the run (August). Many congratulations to Calvin College for having the foresight to host it, and for going all out. Everyone with an interest in antiquity in general and the lands of the Bible in particular should go to see this. $12 is a modest price. And if it seems a bit too modest, blow some money in the amply stocked gift shop near the exit of the exhibition.
