Dubai: To increase knowledge and understanding of Muslim contributions to the world, the Juma Al Majid Centre for Culture and Heritage and MTE Studios yesterday signed an agreement to share resources.
The agreement entitles MTE Studios, which specialises in themed architecture and edutainment exhibitions, to share Juma Al Majid Centre's historic manuscripts to be featured in a global exhibition called '1,000 Years of Knowledge Rediscovered'.
The exhibition is based at Ibn Battuta Mall and its updated travelling version, 'Sultans of Science', is currently being showcased at the MTN Sciencentre in Cape Town.
