rev:text	This is an excellent collection of Islamic art, with particularly good representations of illuminated manuscripts. Some of the calligraphy is truly amazing. Most countries of the Islamic world are represented though there seems to be more Persian art than anything else. The architecture is impressive, as is the outside plaza (not really a garden in the Western sense of the word) with its reflecting pools. The reason I am only giving it three stars is that despite the excellence of the permanent collection and a large space for changing exhibits, there is just not enough stuff in here to justify a $20 admission (I went on a Wednesday afternoon when it was free - and very crowded, including lots of small children). On top of this the parking is $3.50 an hour in a not particularly dense neighbourhood. Given the Aga Khan's wealth, he could have made the museum free and paid for its staff himself, in perpetuity. Labelling of items was okay, though there could have been a little more context. I would have especially liked to have seen a bit more on different schools of Q'uranic calligraphy, since there was so much variation in this. The special exhibits were well done when I was there but did take up the amount of space allotted, giving them a somewhat sparse appearance. The gift shop is pricey but has some beautiful items, especially the Turkish pottery and Syrian tablecloths. It's a good addition to Toronto's cultural scene, but like our zoo and some other attractions, the cost renders it off limits to many.
