5. Sultans of Science
“Sultans of Science”, an MTE Studios travelling exhibition, tells the intriguing stories of Islamic science’s golden age. It visits Oslo’s Museum of Science and Technology with over 50 interactive, sensory and visual installations that lets visitors explore fundamental scientific and technological principles.
One thousand years ago in ancient desert cities, Islamic scientists discovered the principles of flight, defined the theory of vision, developed trigonometry and the numeral system that we use today, and pioneered techniques in quantitative chemistry. While Europe languished in the Dark Ages, Islamic cities had paved streets with kerosene street lights, and they used advanced methods for town planning and architecture. When these important scientific advances were transferred into Europe, they laid the foundation for the Renaissance (www.sultans-of-science.com).
