AGA KHAN MUSEUM
One of the significant landmarks
in Marawi City “Aga Khan Museum”.
Last November 30, 2016 in our
familiarization tour in MSU one of our stops is in Aga Khan Museum. Accordingly
Aga Khan is named after Prince Karim Aga
Khan IV , where donation made the construction of the building possible. It was
opened on June 13, 1962.
The inauguration of the Aga Khan museum of
Islamic arts was on March 23, 1969 attended by miss Gemma Cruz-Araneta who gave
brief remarks before the ceremonial ribbon cutting. It was also attended by
senators Domocao Alonto and Mamintal Tamano Listen. The ribbon was cutted by
miss Geneva Cruz-Araneta that uses the meranao kris to officially open the
museum and assisted by Dr. Antonio Isidro, Mrs Isidro and Mrs. Linang Mandangan.
There is also a picture of the
first commencement exercise 1966 it was attended by late President Ferdinanand
Marcos together with his better half.
What’s inside the Aga Khan? There are many cultural artifacts that were
preserved. Check it out. . .

They also have a
paying “a diyakatan” a meranao ceremonial parasol decorated with different
colors of sequins and beads.

OTHER BEAUTIFUL CULTURAL
ARTIFACTS. . .
The ceramics displayed in the museum were projects of MSU-Filipinas
Foundation. The designs adopted the Maranao art, okir.
a replica of a traditional royal bed.
Meranao culture is very unique
and until now they preserved their cultural artifacts, they gave value to all
of them which is good and inspiring.
Exploring the Aga Khan makes me
think how beautiful and amazing it is. In my 3 years of staying in MSU it is my
second time to visit Aga Khan but still it never fails to amaze me.
