I read this earlier... seems this museum purchased the fragments on the open market believing them to be a part of the Qumram hoard........but they were not. The latest findings say that they are modern fakes.
However, this does not reflect on the authenticity of the Dead Sea Scrolls themselves, in Jerusalem I believe.

The Dead Sea Scrolls were feared by religious dogmatists.
Watch this BBC Documentary for exacting details.
