Spirit Life Exhibition: Masterpieces of Islamic Art from the Aga Khan Museum Collection
This exhibition of rare Islamic art and manuscripts at The Ismaili Centre in South Kensington, London presents treasures from the collection of the Aga Khan which will eventually be displayed at the new Aga Khan Museum in Toronto, Canada in 2010. It includes over 165 objects from the collection showing the diversity of artistic traditions in the Muslim world. The exhibition covers a geographical area stretching from India in the east to Spain and Morocco in the West, and spans over a thousand years, from the ninth to the 19th century.
Spirit Life Exhibition: Masterpieces of Islamic Art from the Aga Khan Museum Collection is at The Ismaili Centre in South Kensington London until August 31.

A must see, excellent exhibition. It was also good to see the general public there – some being drawn from across the road going to V&A!
