NEW YORK –  The largest collection of biblical artifacts -- including 20 Dead Sea Scrolls dating back 2,000 years -- will be on exhibit in Times Square starting next month, the New York Post reported Tuesday.

The show will feature 500 pieces, making it the largest collection of ancient artifacts ever to be put on display outside Israel. The exhibit will include a three-ton slab from the Western Wall, organizers said.

The exhibit will open Oct. 28 at Discovery Times Square on West 44th Street.
