As a part of
our journey in learning about IPR and UAE we ended up in the Etihad Museum in
Dubai on 29th April, 2017
Etihad
museum beautifully depicts the history and the heritage of the union and
beautifully merges the past and the future together. The high level of
technology along with the rich history of the UAE clearly shows us how far we
have come and what we can learn from our past and why we should enrich
ourselves with the culture of UAE. UAE is well known to consider the future but
this museum beautifully depicts and takes us to the past.
We went to
the Etihad museum and learnt about the history of how UAE became a union of
seven emirates. We could study the lives of the original rulers of each emirate
and also their personal belongings were on display at the museum.
We got an
insight of the family tree of rulers of each emirate and in a beautiful
mini-theatre we watched a movie about the time when UAE got independence from
the British rulers and how gradually all the emirates joined together to form a
union.
We were also
able to read the constitution of the country and it was beautifully shown on an
interactive screen.
We also got
to study the different currencies used in the UAE before it finally settled for
the Emirati Dirham and different passports from the past to the present were on
display.
At the end of our tour we played a little game
on one of the screens to see how much we learnt and it was truly a great and an
enriching experience.
