To mark the Aga Khan's 78th birthday, here's a look at his museum in Toronto

The Aga Khan Museum Toronto is designed by Japanese architect Fumihiko Maki while the Ismaili Centre is designed by Indian architect Charles Correa. Both buildings are connected by the reflective gardens of Lebanese architect Vladimir Djurovic.

Inspired by Islamic traditions, the Aga Khan Museum Toronto fuses art and architecture in a landmark with collections spanning 10 centuries of history.

Along the Don Valley Parkway, a major highway 15 minutes north of Toronto, two uniquely angular buildings evoke much curiosity. These are the newly-opened Aga Khan Museum and the Ismaili Centre of Toronto. They are dedicated to presenting an overview of the artistic, intellectual and scientific contribution that Muslim civilisations have made to world heritage, as well as a catalyst of education, learning, understanding and tolerance.
