The museum advances understanding of Islamic civilization and its artistic, intellectual, scientific, and religious traditions. Its collections include significant artifacts from the private collections of His Highness the Aga Khan, the Institute of Ismaili Studies in London, and Prince and Princess Sadruddin Aga Khan. Galleries, theatre, education spaces, and public amenities are organized within a tightly controlled museum environment and unified through disciplined architectural coordination.






Light informs the building’s geometry and proportion. Brazilian granite surfaces, a luminous courtyard, and precisely framed openings create calibrated shadow and reflection throughout the interior. Set within formal Islamic gardens and renaturalized woodlands, the museum demonstrates rigorous execution and technical precision at an institutional scale.
