  • Absolutely GORGEOUS and one-of-a-kind museum, both on the outside and inside. The architecture is just breathtaking! I would DEFINITELY recommend doing the architecture tour during your visit ($10 for adults, $5 for students and seniors) since it gives you the opportunity to see some parts of the museum you wouldn't normally get to see or think to enter (namely the auditorium and the gorgeous blue staircase, as well as the private patron's lounge) and is actually really interesting. Overall it just enhances your experience. They do the tour every day at 12:30 PM. All the tours require that you also pay for admission so then you may as well also look at the exhibits. The permanent exhibit itself isn't that huge, and is mostly comprised of old artifacts like bowls, earthenware, pieces of tiles, some original copies of the Quran, and paintings. It's all interesting to look at, but could definitely be improved if there were more thorough descriptions or audioguides or something. To be quite honest, you can only just look at so many artifacts for so long before it starts to get a little draining. There is the option to do a guided tour of the exhibits, either permanent or temporary (separate tours). My only other complaint would be that the price is pretty steep considering how small the exhibit area is. Adult admission is $20, and for comparison the ROM which is HUGE is $17. Other than that, the garden outside is also lovely, and free. I think it's great that we have this unique museum in Toronto, and I honestly do think everyone should take the time to visit it to learn more about Islamic culture.
