A ballerina’s tutu, submerged in the Dead Sea and “frozen” by accumulated layers of salt into a 200 kg (440 lb) crystal-like sculpture, will soon go on international display, part of a unique artistic project at the lowest point on the planet.

They include a ballet dancer’s costume and shoes as well as musical instruments.
Landau and her team secure their . . .
