The Aga Khan Museum is an absolute treasure. Its stunning architecture and beautifully curated exhibits offer a deep dive into Islamic art, culture, and history. The collections are diverse and thoughtfully presented, with artifacts ranging from intricate textiles to ancient manuscripts. The museum’s serene atmosphere makes it a perfect place for reflection and learning. Additionally, the staff are knowledgeable and welcoming, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply looking for a unique cultural outing, the Aga Khan Museum is a must-visit.
I visited a very quiet, large, and clean museum with interesting historical pieces from different cultures. It was great to see some parts of a book by Avicenna, as well as beautifully painted calligraphy pieces. The museum also had different objects from Islamic culture, such as columns and beams from a building, each with a fantastic and short description. The personnel were very welcoming giving advice and helping to make a great experience and I really liked it. Hopefully, I will visit it again
We found this place when we were looking for a place to go on a Saturday. Turned out to be a very modern Museum. So much about islamic history, artifacts, culture. Parking was on site and had to pay $10 for it. Staff is helpful and informative. So much to explore and learn for a curious mind.
This museum showcases an impressive array of antique items, predominantly hailing from Iran, India, and Spain. Despite its smaller size compared to behemoths like the Metropolitan Museum in New York, plan to spend a solid three hours to take in everything it has to offer.nHowever, it's important to note that the basement and second floor lack the captivating exhibits found on the main floors, which may leave some visitors wanting more.nNevertheless, for those with an interest in exploring artifacts from various cultures, this museum provides a fulfilling experience, even within its more intimate setting.
Great museum! You do have to pay for parking and the lot can get full quick but in my opinion the price of parking and admission is worth it. I do recommend paying for buying your ticket and paying for parking online so you can just enter the museum.nThe exhibits were fascinating and is a good mix of traditional and modern.
