Research interests

As a PhD Research Fellow, I am currently examining the exhibitions of Dead Sea Scrolls in the 20th and 21st centuries, in which more than 100 exhibitions have taken place. The scrolls from the Dead Sea were found between 1946/47 and ’56, and are considered one of the most important archaeological findings of the twentieth century. My research focuses on the function the Scrolls have played in the exhibitions.
