Diwan
This ornate dining space (and a member of the McEwan restaurant family) evokes the luxury of a private 19th-century Syrian home. Decorated wood panels, hand-carved and painted in Damascus in 1799 adorn the walls of the restaurant and a sunlit patio overlooks the gardens of Aga Khan park.

Atrium & Courtyard
Described by the architect Fumihiko Maki as “the heart of the Museum” and nestled like a crystal jewel box in the centre of the building, the glassed-in courtyard throws dramatic patterns of light and shadow onto the walls of the atrium. Host your event under the stars in the warmer months and watch the falling snow from inside the atrium in the winter.
