According to historians, the thousand years following the introduction of Islam were a kind of Golden Age for Muslim civilizations, when numerous advances were made in science, medicine and mathematics.

After being shown in London, Istanbul and Abu Dhabi, the exhibition has just opened in the American capital, Washington (August 2012).
