The Shrine of the Book, Jerusalem. Constructed in 1965, the abstract modernist shrine houses a rotating selection of the Dead Sea Scrolls, a collection of biblical texts written between 400 BCE and the first century CE. The structure is a white dome, with two thirds of the walkable space below ground. The ownership of the scrolls by Israel is disputed by Jordan and Palestine.
Architects: Armand Bartos and Frederick Kiesler
