Abu Dhabi: After 100 days of showcasing some of history’s most important artifacts, the History of the World in 100 Objects exhibition will finally draw to a close on August 1.
Since its launch on April 23, the gallery has taught visitors about the origins of humanity with items dating as far back as 1.7 million years ago. It has also given guests a glimpse into some of the iconic moments that have shaped the history of the world.
The exhibition represents some of the themes that will be seen at the Zayed National Museum, which is expected to open its doors in 2016.

Running in parallel with the exhibition, the Tourism and Culture Authority Abu Dhabi (TCA-AD) organised 72 workshops attended by more than 4,000 participants.
Salama Al Shamsi, project manager, Zayed National Museum said in a TCA-AD statement: “Bridging centuries and geographical borders, the exhibition gave visitors the opportunity to witness how humans have shaped the world, and been shaped by it, through an exploration of some of the world’s most iconic objects.”
In addition to the century-old items, such as the Japanese Jomon pots which enabled the Jomons to cook food such as stew, a number of modern, everyday objects are also on display.
