On a more interesting note www.agakhanmuseum.org has posted that the Museum will be open (to the public) from September 18. Exciting news for the rest of us, non-institutional folk.

Definitely. I noticed that some prep work had begun when we drove by the site a few days ago...

Why naysay?

Was wondering if anyone had any updates on this project?

Apologies, interchange42. I wasn't specifically directing my comments towards you. Of course you have a right to inquire as to why the project has not yet broken ground...

There is no doubt in my mind that the Toronto Ismaili Centre, Gardens and the Aga Khan Museum will be built. There are loftier projects around the world that are either well underway or have already been completed under the patronage of the Aga Khan. 3xotic is right about the timeline though...
