In London, the Aga Khan Centre is presenting a new exhibition called "Making Paradise" which showcases 19 international artists exploring the concept of Al-Jannah, the Garden of Eden or Paradise in Islam. As well as showing works from the Aga Khan Museum, the Aga Khan Centre Gallery has collaborated with the collections team at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Lindley Library to identify botanical illustrations of specific trees, fruits and flowers mentioned in the Qur’an in relation to the gardens of paradise. Aga Khan Centre Gallery curator Esen Kaya said: "This multi-sensory and richly diverse exhibition will have something for everyone, not least, an opportunity to consider ideas on paradise and what it means to us as individuals."
