The Public Curates: My Favourite Object with Helen Platis
The first time veteran energy-sector leader Helen Platis visited the Aga Khan Museum, she was “taken with entire experience” — the architecture, the landscaping, and of course, the masterworks in the permanent Collection. But as she shares in her The Public Curates video for the #MuseumWithoutWalls, it was one object in particular, a candlestick from 14th-century Syria or Egypt, that inspired a “personal memory” for Platis and revealed for her just how interconnected the world’s major traditions are with each other.
