Beautiful architecture which makes it a great spot for photos outside. The museum itself had interesting pieces to look at it. Only downside it’s a bit smaller than other Toronto museums that I wouldn’t dedicate a whole day for this and suggest doing other activities in the nearby area in addition to this.
This museum is a gem: the architecture, the permanent collection, the gardens. It was our first visit and we truly enjoyed our time there.
We were welcome by a very friendly staff member who was generous in explaining the museum to us. It was thus easy to roam around and appreciate our time. There was even live musicians in the main hall! We were visiting between temporary exhibitions so only had the collections to visit. It was not a problem for us because that’s what we wanted to see. Plus, the price was adjusted accordingly.
The visit was very informative and interesting. The objects shown are quite impressive. The gardens and the architectural elements are just a masterpiece. You feel at peace visiting.
Really, a must see!

Definitely a great spot to spend a Saturday or a Sunday afternoon. The museum has a cafe and a restaurant attached to it. I found the tickets to be a bit pricey considering the exhibition it had going wasn’t that expansive- but this is a personal opinion. Definitely worth a weekend or a few weekends in a year with your friends and your family.
The Aga Khan Museum is undeniably one of the best places to immerse yourself in art, design, and serenity within the heart of Toronto. I find myself addicted to exploring their ever-evolving and profoundly meaningful galleries every time I visit. The warmth that envelopes you here is truly special, and the staff is exceptional – offering a complimentary coat-check service, which is such a thoughtful touch.
My recent visit coincided with Nuit Blanche, and I was delighted to discover that the permanent gallery was open to the public for free, along with a myriad of other captivating programs and shows. This museum is a must-visit gem in Toronto, and I highly recommend indulging in the culinary delights at their restaurant, Diwan. An all-encompassing experience for art enthusiasts and anyone seeking a touch of tranquility in the city. 🎨🏛️🍽️

The Aga Khan Museum is a truly stunning institution that is absolutely worth a visit. Its architecture is both impressive and beautiful. The museum's mission is to showcase and curate art from historically significant Muslim civilizations, as well as contemporary Muslim communities worldwide. This diverse collection spans across a vast geographic area, encompassing regions from Spain and North Africa in the west to the Middle East, South Asia, and even China in the east.
The museum has good architecture. Good number of religious artifacts however not great amount of collections. This is one time go and watchable place. But, it is must go place who are interested to learn civilization and to know about Islamic traditions. Religion means the way of life. So, anyone can go and explore the different cultures. Good time to visit this place is in Summer. As the garden has lavender farm and other nice flowers.

The museum itself was set in a beautiful green area, with modern buildings and sculptures. The collections on display were truly amazing, offering a wealth of opportunities to learn. However, I must admit that the staff at the Esmaili Center were not very polite, which left me wondering about their behavior. While they tried to create a visually appealing environment, I believe more effort should be directed towards fostering a friendlier and more courteous team.
We visited on a door open day, and I'm not sure if it would be worth paying for a ticket on a regular day, unless you have a deep appreciation for Islamic art and culture.
