Jerusalem: Shrine of the Book

The Shrine of the Book is a museum built to house the Dead Sea Scrolls, which were discovered between 1947 and 1956. The unusual design for the dome was based on imagery from one of the scrolls, specifically the War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness.https://digitalcommons.ric.edu/smolski_images/1735/thumbnail.jp
