Wenham Museum: Three Bags Full: All About Wool

Wenham Museum: Three Bags Full: All About Wool

Wool is a very ancient fiber that has been keeping us both warm and cool for thousands of years. It can be dense and fuzzy, or gossamer fine. It is used for clothes (both what you see and what you don’t), accessories, and even toys and dolls. In this exhibit we explore the versatility of wool, from cobwebby shawls to tough twill for military uniforms, tweed jackets to superfine dress fabric – woven, knitted, crocheted and felted – wool can do it all.

Dead Sea Scrolls: Life in Ancient Times

Vist MA MOS, Museum of Science in Boston, Dead Sea Scrolls: Life in Ancient Time

In 1947, a goatherd wandered into one of the many hidden caves along the banks of the Dead Sea — and concealed inside were ancient scrolls that had not been seen in 2,000 years. These Dead Sea Scrolls include literary writings of the times and the oldest known texts of the Bible, making their discovery perhaps the most significant archeological find of the last century.
