BYU

.
Did you know Jerusalem has a Mormon university?

On the left of the photo you see its graceful arches built on 8 different levels on Mount Scopus.

Brigham Young University Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies was opened in 1987.
.
It is even more beautiful inside. You can see the video or take the virtual tour at their website.
Read about the sometimes troubled history of the building of the campus at Wikipedia.
.
If you are ever in town, take the one hour guided tour, complete with organ recital.
.
Enjoy other tours in different places around the world at That's My World Tuesday meme.
