REPORT - Visit to Etihad Museum

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.
