The Scientific Center have brought the award-winning and international blockbuster exhibition “1001 Inventions” to Kuwait and today was their first opening day. I just got back from it and I loved it or at least loved the fact that for the next month kids have an exciting and interactive educational exhibition they can check out. The experience starts off with a short 10 minute film and once it’s done, everyone is led into the main hall where various stations are manned by different performers who act out the role of an inventor and tell their story. If you follow me on snapchat (mark248am) you most probably saw some of the performers since I snapchatted a few OF THEM. I actually snapchatted more but my snapchat has a habit of crashing with the videos disappearing on restart.
The various displays around the exhibitions have videos and a certain degree of interactivity making the experience very entertaining but it’s the performers that stood out for me. The exhibition is bilingual and that includes the performers who are able to act out in both Arabic and English. Surprisingly they only had two weeks to rehearse. The “1001 Inventions” exhibition is taking place outside the Scientific Center in a large tent and the entrance fee is just KD2 or KD1.5 if when you buy a Scientific Center ticket. They are running starting from today and up until March 7th. Their opening hours are:
Sunday to Thursday
9AM to 1PM and 4:30PM to 9:30PM
Friday
2PM to 10PM
Saturday
9AM to 9:30PM
It’s definitely worth passing by to check out and expect to spend an hour there to experience the whole exhibit. For more information click [Here]

Thanks for Sharing.
The poster has Sir Ben Kingsley. It’s a pic from the prince of Persia movie I think.
Didn’t know the Sands of Time was actual invention, lol.
He stars in the short film they show before you are led into the main area
Was Ben Kingsley also there?
Thanks Mark.
For the First hand information from ground zero.
I want a Liam Neeson version.
Mark, it was a great pleasure to finally meet you. I’m glad you have enjoyed your tour of the exhibition, and thanks for posting about it 🙂
