The Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (ADACH) is holding a water exhibition entitled "Water: H2O = Life" in collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History, next week.
The Exhibition, which will be held from September 19, 2011 to January 5, 2012 at Qasr al Hosn Exhibition Center in Abu Dhabi, sheds light on the challenges faced by people for the sustainable management of this vital, but limited, resource and its uses.
ADACH aims to disseminate this message clearly and works hard to have an impact on people’s culture to promote the preservation of natural resources.
Mohammed Khalaf Al Mazrouei, Advisor for Culture and Heritage in the Court of His Highness the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, and Director General of ADACH, said that "ADACH is engaged in researching and promoting Abu Dhabi cultural and heritage issues at the highest level locally, regionally and internationally and a partnership with the American Museum of Natural History enables ADACH to raise awareness to a wider audience." "We are doing this by using state-of-the art interactive technologies in order to engage our audiences, especially younger generations, and educate them on how proper water usage can positively affect their future," he emphasized.
The detailed models and sculptures at the exhibition will address water issues that face communities and ecosystems around the world. They also highlight the importance of this limited and precious resource.
Dr. Sami el-Masri, Deputy Director General for Arts, Culture and Heritage and Director of Strategic Planning and Development stated, "This exhibition brings to light the importance of preserving water since Abu Dhabi city has one the highest rates of personal consumption in the world." "It presents the theme of water in its local context as central to the evolution of a desert settlement. This theme underpins the inscription of Al Ain cultural sites on the World Heritage list of UNESCO," he elaborated.
