The Aga Khan Museum in Toronto, Canada, established in 2014, offers unique insights and new perspectives into Islamic civilizations and the cultural threads that weave through history binding us all together. The Museum is a centre of education and of learning and offers visitors a window into worlds unknown or unfamiliar: the artistic, intellectual, and scientific heritage of Muslim civilizations across the centuries from the Iberian Peninsula to China. Its mission is to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of the contribution that Muslim civilizations have made to world heritage. Through education, research, and collaboration, the Museum seeks promote dialogue, tolerance and mutual understanding among people.
