The Museum of Science and Technology in Islam ( MOSTI) is located in KAUST, the international university of Science and Technology located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia..and considered a modern "House of Wisdom". University's Website http://www.kaust.edu.sa/ The Museum celebrates the contributions of Muslim scholars to science and technology during the first Golden Age of Islam from the 7th to 17th century. These Muslim scholars include amongst them the great scientists, inventors, engineers, mathematicians and teachers of that time, such as Jabir ibn Hayyan, Abbas bin Firnas, al-Kindi, al-Razi, al-Jazari and Taqi al-Din. MOSTI demonstrates how their contributions shaped the world as we know it today and how their pioneering work laid the foundation for modern civilization. The benefits of their work are all around us today. The exhibits in the Museum demonstrate that teaching and learning have been an important part of the Islamic way of life since the birth of Islam in the mid 7th century. MOSTI uses cutting edge technology to showcase the major contributions of Muslim scholars to science and technology during the first Golden Age of Islam. Modern interactive techniques, such as touch screens, moving plasma screens, multi-touch tables, flipbooks, automated scale models and interactive videos, have been used to tell the story of ancient science. for more information about the interesting museum visit its website :D …you can also have a virtual tour :) http://museum.kaust.edu.sa/
