LIGHT: VISIONARY PERSPECTIVES
Saturday, July 13, 2024–Monday, March 17, 2025
Atrium, Museum Collections Gallery, Temporary Exhibitions Gallery
Marking the Museum’s 10th anniversary, Light: Visionary Perspectives dives into the omnipresence and impact of light, placing visitors at the centre of an immersive exhibition filled with contemporary installations by renowned artists.
By harnessing light in a myriad of different ways, the varied and dynamic installations challenge perceptions and provide space for reflection. The exhibition experience continues in the Museum Collections Gallery, where its themes are further explored. Set against the backdrop of the Aga Khan Museum’s stunning architecture, which was designed to showcase the interplay of light, shadow, and form, Light: Visionary Perspectives invites you to rediscover the world through illuminating artworks that explore the boundless possibilities of light.
