Description

This unique structure is the Shrine of the Book, a wing of the Israel Museum that is home to the Dead Sea Scrolls. The dome has been used in several science fiction due to it’s unique design which is based on imagery from the Scroll of the War of the Sons of Light Against the Songs of Darkness.
