Last May, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Aga Khan attended a groundbreaking ceremony for a $300-million Ismaili centre in the area of Eglinton Avenue and Don Mills Road.
Now, you see the project for yourself.
An exhibition of drawings and renderings of the development, which will include the Ismaili Centre Toronto, the Aga Khan Museum and a park, is on display at the Ontario Science Centre.
“These landmark projects, stunning additions to the cultural and architectural landscape of Toronto, are currently under construction on Wynford Drive in Toronto, and will offer platforms for the search for mutual understanding among all communities and cultures,” according to a statement from the Aga Khan Council for Canada.
“The Aga Khan Museum and its collection reflect the plurality of the Muslim world, while the adjacent Ismaili Centre will create spaces for interaction and dialogue.”
The 17-acre development is expected to be completed in 2013.
The exhibition runs daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Wednesday, Jan. 12. Entrance is free.
