There is a new exciting exhibit at the Museum of Science! Until October 31st, guests can view scrolls found in hidden caves of the Dead Sea. 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 archaeological find of the last century.

Enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see fragments of the priceless scrolls (some never displayed in North America), along with one of the most comprehensive collection of antiquities from Israel ever organized. Highlights include a three-ton stone from Jerusalem’s Western Wall, limestone capitals from the first temple period (1000 – 586 BCE), ossuaries from the early Roman period, and an ancient signature preserved for millennia on the Archer Seal. Together these artifacts reveal precious details about the culture, rituals, and beliefs of an influential Iron Age people."

"Isabella Stewart Gardner collected and carefully displayed a collection of more than 2,500 objects—paintings, sculpture, furniture, textiles, architectural elements, drawings, silver, ceramics, illuminated manuscripts, rare books, photographs and letters—from ancient Rome, Medieval Europe, Renaissance Italy, Asia, the Islamic world, and 19th-century France and America.

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum will be open from 11am-5pm on Friday. 

Last night, the last business affected by the Boston Marathon bombing reopened on Boylston Street. Forum, which was the site of one of the second explosion, held a private fundraiser to benefit the Joe Andruzzi Foundation. The event was a huge success for the foundation and showed the strength of Bostonians coming to support the restaurant.

The owner, Euz Azevedo, did a complete update of the space both upstairs and down. The ground floor has a sweeping bar that goes almost the entire length of the restaurant. The entire space is brighter and livelier which was the goal to help people erase negative memories. As Euz told the Boston Globe, "We made a decision to brighten the space," he said. “We wanted to erase those memories that people had. I just didn’t want to open with the same look because if you come back to a place where something bad happened to you, you’re going to have those memories again.”

In addition to the renovations, Chef Dan Schroeder invites guests to enjoy a brand new menu, focusing on fresh seafood and traditional favorites. The menu can be viewed on their website. 

Forum will be open to the public today. Reservations can be made through Open Table or by calling (857) 991-1831.

The Fisherman's Feast will be celebrated in the North End today through Sunday, August 18th. The Fisherman's Feast is a street festival in Boston's Italian-American neighborhood that has been going on for over 100 years. "The Feast is based on the devotion of the fishermen from Sciacca to the Madonna del Soccorso (Our Lady of Help). "

The festival will have carnival style games, vendors, marching bands, small concert stages, music and lots of wonderful Italian style cuisine.

The festival starts at 6:00pm tonight with an opening ceremony that includes "La Madonna Del Soccorso leaving her permanent chapel for the annual blessing of the fishing waters. The grand finale will start at 8:00 with the Flight of the Angels ceremony and the return of the statue of Mary to the church around 10:30pm."
