When the exhibition moved to the Canadian Museum of Civilization additional artefacts were incorporated and the title was changed to Ancient Treasures and the Dead Sea Scrolls to take into account the full range of materials presented and the expanded story line. The exhibition was shown at the Canadian Museum of Civilization between December 5, 2003 and April 12, 2004.

The exhibition was organized by the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, in collaboration with the Pointe-à-Callière, Montréal Museum of Archaeology and History and in partnership with the Canadian Museum of Civilization. Artifacts on loan from the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, the Israel Antiquities Authority, and the Library and Archives of Canada. Exhibition produced in Canada by Pointe-à-Callière in partnership with the Canadian Museum of Civilization.
