UN agency to set up museum of information and communication technology
ITU Secretary-General
Hamadoun Tour?
? ITU/V. Martin
10-11-2009 (New York)
*The United Nations telecommunications agency announced that it has signed
an agreement with the United Arab Emirates to build a new museum that will
focus on the impact of information communications technology (ICT) on
people's lives.*
The new museum will be known as the ICT Exploratorium and will be housed at
the headquarters of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in
Geneva when it opens next year, the agency said in a press release.
Under the agreement, signed in Abu Dhabi by ITU Secretary-General Hamadoun
Tour? and Mohamed Al Ghanim, Director-General of the UAE's
Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, the UAE and its authority will
donate $2 million to the design and construction of the museum.
ITU will acquire the exhibits, equipments and other resources necessary to
establish the museum, which will be free of charge to the general public.
The agency said the museum will feature permanent interactive exhibits
highlighting cutting-edge ICT systems and their role in everyday lives, as
well as rotating exhibitions on new inventions, emergency communications and
the future of the Internet.
Dr Tour? thanked the UAE and its telecommunications regulator for their
support of the museum.
?As we all know, ICTs are not just about technologies any more ? they are
closely linked with every aspect of our daily lives,? he said.
