Science in general Muslim designs at London's Science Museum

Gurdur · 01-Feb-2010, 09:15 AM (09:15)

Currently there is an exhibition on at London's Science Museum, "The 1001 Inventions" exhibition, which features inventions and designs by Muslims

in the period of between the 9^th and 15^th centuries AD. It looks to be a good show, and features among other things Al-Idrisi's world map, Al-Zahrawi's surgical instruments (apparently Al-Zahrawi also invented the syringe), Ibn Firnas' flying contraption and so on. So if you're in London you might like to pop in and take a look at it.
