What is 1001 Inventions?

1001 Inventions is a global educational initiative that promotes awareness of a thousand years of scientific and cultural achievements from Muslim civilisation from the 7th century onwards, and how those contributions helped build the foundations of our modern world.

The 1001 Inventions global touring exhibition and the educational products that accompany the exhibition all highlight the scientific and technological achievements made by men and women, of different faiths and cultures that lived in Muslim civilisation.

In association with the Jameel Foundation, the 1001 Inventions Exhibition is currently at the Science Museum, London, open till 30th June 2010 (short closure from 25th Feb and 12th March 2010 inclusive).
