Dubai launches online museum

THE Dubai Food Festival
runs until March 15 and
features tastings, offers
and events showcasing
the Emirate’s diverse food
and the cuisines of some
200 nationalities.
What’s more,
experiences from the
festival will be preserved
on the city’s recently
launched online museum.
The online museum gives
residents and visitors an
opportunity to be part of
an autobiography of the
city. People are invited
to share compelling
moments of their life over
the course of this year,
recording images, videos
and stories by using the
hashtag #MyDubai.
Launched earlier this
month, #MyDubai received
an overwhelming 75 000
images in its rst week
and 25 were submitted for
the launch of the project.
The e-museum is housed
at @MyDubai, the ofcial
Instagram and Twitter
pages for the initiative. An
additional 10 images will
be added to the museum
collection weekly.
