Turkey's PM has opened the worlds first Istanbul Museum of the History of Islam, Science, and Technology which is backed by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism in cooperation with the Greater İstanbul Municipality.
In the initial stages, the museum will display 140 different pieces, though over time the number of displayed items is expected to rise to 800 & will exhibit works produced by Turkish and Muslim scientists well in advance of the industrial revolution. A special Science History Library will also be included as part of the museum.
Items to be displayed include examples of devices and tools used in geography, astronomy, oceanography, machinery, geometry, optics, medicine, chemistry, mining, physics, mechanics, war and architecture.
