Sultans of Science is a traveling exhibition that is currently in Canada, which exemplifies Islam’s great contribution to modern science. The exhibition, which opened on May 19 and continues until Sept. 7, currently takes place at the TELUS World of Science center in Edmonton.

This is the second time “Sultans of Science” is being showcased in Canada. Earlier, the exhibition was held at the Ontario Science Centre where it drew record crowds. The exhibition will be at the Edmonton venue for three months and will travel to another North American venue.

“The exhibition is focused on science and technology and is non-political and non-religious,” says Ludo Verheyen, the CEO of MTE Studios. MTE Studios is a specialized consultancy firm based in Dubai that focuses on “themed architecture and interactive learning experiences.” It recently signed a contract with TELUS World of Science to showcase the global traveling exhibition at Edmonton in Canada.

“We want to create an awareness of our indebtedness to a civilization, which was once the greatest in the world, and which is undoubtedly part of our heritage,” says Verheyen. “History textbooks refer to events when Europe slumbered in a period which is commonly known as the Dark Ages, but few people are aware of the tremendous contributions Muslim scholars made in science and technology during the Golden Age of the Islamic World (700 to 1,700 C.E.) toward today’s technology and society.” [Read More]
