HIGH POINT -- Held over! With record-breaking attendance, "The Dead Sea Scrolls to the Bible in America" exhibit will be staying at Providence Place in High Point through April 10.

"This is by far the best-attended exhibit we've had in the nine cities where we've had the exhibit," co-curator Joel Lampe said.

The High Point exhibit was originally set for Jan. 17 through Feb. 27, but the run was almost immediately extended through Easter on March 27.
