The Aga Khan Museum, inaugurated in September 2014 in Toronto, Canada, is the only museum in North America dedicated to the collection, research, preservation and display of works of art, objects and artefacts of artistic, cultural and historical significance from various periods and geographic areas of the Muslim world.
“The 1,428 years of the Ummah embrace many civilisations and are therefore characterised by an astonishing pluralism. In particular, this geographic, ethnic, linguistic and religious pluralism has manifested itself at the most defining moments in the history of the Ummah. The Aga Khan Museum showcases objects drawn from every region and every period, and created from every kind of material in the Muslim world.”
His Highness the Aga Khan
