The Ismaili Centre, Toronto is the sixth in a network of Ismaili Centres in Vancouver, London, Lisbon, Dubai and Dushanbe, and will continue a tradition of hosting programmes that stimulate the intellect, encourage dialogue and celebrate cultural diversity.

The Aga Khan Museum, which will open its doors to the public on 18 September, aims to foster a greater understanding of the artistic, intellectual and scientific contributions that Muslim civilisations have made to world heritage.
