The weather may feel like March but we are approaching the end of May and that means time to meet up at the Irish Embassy for the Oxbridge pub night. I hope to see as many of you as possible in the Dublin Bar (turn left after you enter the bar). We will be discussing solutions to the world’s problems and whether Mike Babcock really can turnover an old Leaf. Complete details can be found on the Events page.

Tickets are now available for our Society’s group guided tour on Saturday, May 30, 2015 at 10:30 a.m., of the Aga Khan Museum’s permanent collection, as well as the special exhibition “Visions of Mughal India: the Collection of Howard Hodgkin”, organized in association with the Ashmolean Museum.

The Museum, which opened in 2014, is located in a spacious and unique architectural building on a 6.8 hectare site shared with the Ismaili Centre Toronto. Please visit www.agakhanmuseum.org for information on how to get there, as well many other details of what the Museum has to offer.

The tour is expected to take 90 minutes and concludes the group event, but afterwards you may wish to have lunch in one of the Museum’s two excellent eateries, the Diwan restaurant – 416 646 4670 for reservations – or the Museum Courtyard Cafe which serves lighter fare including sandwiches, salads, pastries, teas and coffees.

If you can’t make it that morning, the Museum is open its regular hours that day so you could join friends in the Society for lunch and then visit the galleries in the afternoon.

Please see our Events Page for ticket information.
