The Aga Khan Museum: Photographs, Stories and Insights Celebrating Ten Years

Simerg and its two sister websites, Simergphotos and Barakah, invite you to join us in celebrating the Aga Khan Museum and the Ismaili Centre Toronto’s 10th anniversary. This post features beautiful stories, insights, and a collection of exclusive photographs we have captured since their inauguration by His Highness the Aga Khan and the then Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, on September 12, 2014. This date marked a significant milestone in the history of the Ismaili Imamat in Canada, and the Imamat’s substantial contribution to a deeper understanding of Islam’s artistic and cultural heritage in the Western world.
