About the Aga Khan Museum
Founded in 2014, the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto, Ontario is home to a growing Permanent Collection of over 1,200 masterpieces, including manuscripts, paintings, ceramics, and textiles from the 9th to the 21st century.
Through its innovative online and in-person programs, the Museum reaches millions of people worldwide, fostering intercultural dialogue and understanding through the arts.
Mission
Through the arts, the Aga Khan Museum sparks wonder, curiosity, and understanding of Muslim cultures and their connection with other cultures.
Vision
To impact lives and contribute to more inclusive and peaceful societies.
Curatorial Principles
The Aga Khan Museum fosters curiosity and advances the understanding of Muslim cultures and their connections with other cultures through the arts.
We recognize that artistic expression can explore complex, challenging, and sometimes sensitive issues. Our decisions to present exhibitions and artists are guided by considered curatorial judgment, our institutional responsibilities, and our commitment to pluralism.
The Museum respects artistic freedom and accepts responsibility for the exhibitions and performances it chooses to present. While individual artists and artworks may express particular perspectives, their presentation does not constitute an institutional endorsement of every view expressed.
