The Public Curates: Eiman Muiny
Toronto-based artist Eiman Muiny talks about why the lavishly decorated Blue Qur’an is her favourite object at the Aga Khan Museum. As a Muslim woman, the Qur’an itself, its verses, and meanings, make it “the closest book to my heart,” she says. As a visual artist, Eiman is in awe of the longevity and exemplary craftsmanship in the pages of the Blue Qur’an, which date back to the 9th century.
