I like the architecture and how they manage to keep the museum clean . I also like their Free Wednesday admission cause it makes people know more about another culture without paying anything.

This is such a hidden gem . The landscaping and architecture are incredible. A very lovely elegant restaurant that serves food from all lands that have large population of Muslims = great eats

Get a tour of the Ismail centre while you are in the neighbourhood. You need to book the tour in advance.

Tz K

Really nice place to get an idea about Muslim culture and heritage. Free board games available to play with friends!

So beautiful. If you don't have time to see the whole museum , you MUST see the worship center in the pyramid building across from the aha khan museum .

This place is absolutely stunning inside and out. A bit far but worth the journey

Many collections from different eras, and a section for Syria history through time.

Fayaz Karim

Great museum , nicely built building and peaceful park outside the museum .

Gabriel Seah

Not a very big collection, nor that spectacular, but very well presented. Still, not worth the full price - come on Wednesday afternoon/evening when it's free

Mahrukh Hakim

Check out the timings for the guided tours before going, it's best to take that option.

Terrence Clark

I enjoyed a great exhibition in a wonderful building.

Ramin Hossaini

Lovely staff , and lots of history but their pricing needs work (it's too expensive for what you get)

Han Ly

The open space is spectacular but nothing much happening inside. Parking is expensive - 10$ flat rate.

Salim Nensi

The space and displays are surely breath-taking and inspiring
