    • The Aga Khan Museum

      Posted at 1:07 pm by Gelene Celis, on June 24, 2015

      …is a museum of Islamic art, Iranian art, and Muslim culture.
      …
      also North America’s first Islamic Museum right here in Toronto, ON

      ====================

      There were pieces from Sicily and Spain though, which got me confused, but then I read on and realized that European cultures had a pretty heavy influence on Middle Eastern & predominant Islamic nations.  Duh.

      Here’s my personal favorite:
      “Said the Prophet, most glorious: Abandoning the world is more righteous than any worship.”

      There was a cool part on the second floor too:
      “Marvellous Creatures: Animals in Islamic Art”

      Photos weren’t allowed on the second floor, so I don’t have anything for you, unfortunately.

      Check out The Aga Khan Museum’s site here

      They’re open on Tuesday-Sunday from 10-6.  Admission is $20.
      On Wednesdays, hours are extended til 8 as admission is free from 4-8.

    • The Alchemist

      Posted at 2:58 pm by Gelene Celis, on April 4, 2014

      … by Paulo Coelho (from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, currently based in Switzerland)

      “This is the magical story of Santiago, a shepherd boy who dreams of traveling the world to seek the most wonderful treasures known to man.  From his home in Spain, he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and, from there, into the Egyptian desert, where a fateful encounter with the Alchemist awaits him.”

      Still one of my favourites.

      Read about it here… like, if you just want a summary… but, no, seriously, read it.
