CBC News | New Aga Khan Museum will showcase Islamic art

The Aga Khan Museum’s permanent collection, comprising of approximately 1,000 pieces of the Aga Khan’s personal family collection, are going  to be on display – some of which, experts say, are considered to be among the most significant in Islamic art history.

“Canada actually represented the best of the best when it comes to multiculturalism, diversity and even pluralism.”

– Henry Kim, Aga Khan Museum Director and CEO

“I worked with three professional scholars in the field and they told me that, in their opinion, this was one of the most important pieces of Islamic art that I would ever see in my life,”

– Stephanie Allen,  Aga Khan Museum Chief Registrar
