Aga Khan Museum
77 Wynford Dr, North York, ON M3C 1K1
Granite-and-glass museum devoted to Islamic art, designed around shifting patterns of natural light.
This guide to the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto traces the collection the Aga Khan and his uncle built over decades, and the offer to house it beside the Thames in London that fell through after local protests. You'll hear why he chose Toronto instead, and how architect Fumihiko Maki designed the granite-and-glass building around a single idea: the changing light of the day and seasons. Around twelve hundred objects rotate through its galleries, a handful at a time.
