“The harmonious integration of the spiritual, the artistic, and the natural worlds” - Toronto, Canada, 28 May 2010

from Gems of Wisdom · host The Ismaili

We have heard in previous episodes about the effort to educate people in Western societies about the contributions that diverse Muslim civilisations have made to the world. The Aga Khan discussed three institutions located together that he hoped would contribute to this educational endeavour in this speech at the foundation ceremony of the Aga Khan Museum, the Ismaili Centre Toronto, and the Aga Khan Park made on 28 May 2010 in Toronto, Canada. Please note that although the majority of this speech is in English, it does contain a short section in French. A translation is available in the podcast’s transcript and on the Aga Khan Development Network website. Click here to read the speech.
