Prince Amyn, who serves as Board Chair of the Aga Khan Museum, is in Toronto for events to mark the museum’s 10th anniversary.

SPEECH BY PRINCE AMYN MUHAMMAD AGA KHAN
LAPIS BALL HELD ON THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE OPENING OF THE AGA KHAN MUSEUM

Toronto, Canada

Good evening, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, friends.

As you may have guessed, it gives me a particular pleasure tonight to welcome you and to be with you for the 2024 Lapis Ball, as we celebrate the 10th year of the Museum's inauguration in Toronto on the 12th of September, 2014.

That happened to be my birthday.

But you need to know that the Museum is much younger than me.
