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

Working with the world's leading academics, 1001 Inventions engages with the public through educational media and interactive global exhibitions, in order to highlight the shared cultural and technological inheritance of humanity.

Since it launched in March 2006, 1001 Inventions has successfully educated more than a million people, promoted cross-cultural understanding and strengthened social cohesion.

1001 Inventions was created by the academic Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilisation (FSTC) with support from the British Government.

Over 3000 visitors every day? But I heard it was over 9000.

@jjk9999 visitor numbers varied from day to day. During busy weekends the numbers could double or even triple compared to weekdays.

Finally! Putting things in perspective. A reality we all need, a breath of fresh air, indeed.

I sincerely pray to Allah for more success to such wonderful efforts in enlightening the world with what's been concealed and unacknowledged for long enough, whether because of ignorance or purposely.

this ignites the curiosity of students to history. Very well done! More museum to come!

[1001Inventions]

@hshakeem Indeed. The truth is the truth, regardless of who speaks it. Science is the search for universal truths, and people of all faiths (and none) have advanced our understanding of the world we inhabit.

@1001Inventions Just to let you know, anyone writing "over 9000" is trolling. Don't bother replying to them.
