The oldest known example of ancient Hebrew text was found on, what is called, The Silver Scrolls.?
Where are they housed in Israel? Which museum?
The only answer I've gotten was incorrect. I know how to use Wikipedia and I've been there already. There is an ancient artifact known as the Silver Scroll. It was found in 1975 in Israel. Where is it housed?

Actually, there are two Silver Scrolls. They were found in 1979, at the Ketef Hinnom site in Jerusalem, by an archaeological team from Bar Ilan University in Tel Aviv. No information is available on where they are now.
It would appear that they're still being studied and are therefore not available for viewing. If they're still being studied, they may be "traveling" to different institutions for different phases of the research. That would explain why there is no museum listed as their 'home'.
You are correct that they are the oldest Hebrew texts known, 7th century BCE; they predate the Dead Sea scrolls by 400 years, and are strong proof that the written TaNaKh is much older than its debunkers have claimed.
