The Aga Khan Museum was opened by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in the presence of His Highness the Aga Khan on Friday, September 12, 2014.

First of its kind in North America, the museum building is in itself an awe-inspiring sleek architectural masterpiece of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Fumihiko Maki.
