Best Museum in Canada

A	Aasiya Satia on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a pleasant visit for the family, Sunday’s are good with children as they have some craft activities from 12-4pm. The main exhibition was well laid out and plenty of manuscripts to see. The special exhibition had many beautiful garments. I enjoyed learning Islamic history from Persia, South Asia, China as well as some Christian and Jewish history. Quite amazed by the historical manuscript collection.
M	Master iOqY on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This temple of truth and tolerance finally adds something interesting amidst the dull concrete facades along Wynford drive. The reflecting pools outside complements the white marble structure that is the stand in for 'Vulcan' on Star Trek Discovery. The exhibits also shows how connected we are with Persian, Chinese, Turkish influences on Islamic art all housed in a building designed by a Japanese architect. Celebrate diversity and inclusion here.
R	R G on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great visit... Beautiful grounds and exhibits. Spent three hours there. You could do in less or more time depending on how much you want to read/listen. Had a light lunch (egg and croissant sandwich $9.99) in the lovely courtyard. Very clean building... All doors are non-contact (wave hand to open). The temporary photo exhibit outside is a pleasant walk and informative. If you want to visit the Ismaili center nextdoor, it's only open to public tours on Saturdays (book 2 days before though). Open for prayers every day I think. Across the road is the Japanese Cultural Centre, open for free. I recommend a visit to all three in one day.
K	Karishma Kishor on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent architecture and marvelous art collection. Truly an inspiration to many upcoming artist and out of the box image gallery theme. Left visitors speechless and deep dived in methodological explanation to art piece. The journey of art from Asia to Africa and Canada is rapturous. Pro tip: Visit the museum on Wednesday from 4-8PM EDT will give you free access to exhibition. Reserve your table at Deewan restaurant in advance to avail ongoing perks and discounts.
L	Leslie Edwards-Hendriks on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Peaceful and calm walking around this museum. Learnt so much. Everyone working there from security to gift store to coat check and in exhibit staff were incredibly friendly and willing to offer suggestions on how to move through the museum! Can’t wait to return in the summer to see the grounds in full bloom!

I'm Really Very Happy to See that Museum ?.
N	Nimish Moon on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An excellent architectural masterpiece built by great architects from across the world. Every minute details are considered in design, from landscape and play of leaves colours, water elements to bring in mirror effects, texture from granite from Latin American countries. Wandering through the campus is a learning experience and a joy for all 5 senses.
M	Masa K on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Interesting place to visit at least once. It’s not big so you can see everything in 2hrs. I loved the fact that they offered free coat check but no one was there to supervise it. If you have an expensive coat/jacket don’t leave it there! It’s a really beautiful place, and I enjoyed my time there. However, I was not happy with the lighting of the whole place as I found it dark and not the best type for a museum since we are there to observe the items and read description. The place could of used some nice music but didn’t have any. The security guards were good. The items placed too close to each other and it didn’t have any specific order to follow. Lots of scripts, paintings and old books to look at. If you love museums you should go but if you are looking for a fun museum definitely not the best to be at!
