Museum Home Page: Link Wiki Page: Link Google Maps: Link Facebook Full Album: Link This beautiful museum located in the not-so-center of the city of Toronto is a great site to visit for those looking to get some culture into their weekend, (Muslim/Islamic/Iranian) to be exact just be a prepared for a short car ride or a thirty minute bus ride from Eglinton (TTC) to the museum.
Funded by the current Aga Khan (Prince Karim Aga Khan IV) and brought to life by Pritzker Prize winner Fumihiko Maki. The museum truly makes its presence known immediately upon arrival by the grand and modern design with great integration of the surrounding park to add a picturesque shot from almost any angle. Taking advantage of a sunny weekend in Toronto I had a chance to visit the museum and take some great shots while traveling with a fellow couchsurfers (Janyce). Enjoy the pictures and feel free to ask any questions!
"The aim of the Aga Khan Museum will be to offer unique insights and new perspectives into Islamic civilizations and the cultural threads that weave through history binding us all together. My hope is that the Museum will also be a centre of education and of learning, and that it will act as a catalyst for mutual understanding and tolerance.- His Highness the Aga Khan"
