The Aga Khan Museum celebrates the first human step on the moon

The Moon: A Voyage Through Time is a major exhibition organised at the Aga Khan Museum with the aim to pay tribute to our timeless fascination with the moon by exploring how it has inspired spiritual growth, scientific discovery, and artistic creativity. The event is organised in the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing on 20 July 1969 on moon, marking the first steps of human on moon. Spanning pre-Islamic times to the present day, and delving into faith, science, and the arts, The Moon: A Voyage Through Time assembles ancient artefacts, important miniature paintings, scientific instruments, Islamic manuscripts, and contemporary art. Together these artworks reveal the many roles the moon has played across cultures of the Muslim world, whether as a timekeeper, a source of inspiration for poets and artists, or an emblem of the divine.
