As Nuit Blanche marks its 20th anniversary, the Aga Khan Museum, the Aga Khan Park, and the Ismaili Centre Toronto will transform the night into a celebration of art, music, and reflection inspired by the city-wide theme, Tomorrow’s Memories.

The Aga Khan Museum presents Sacred and Profane, an exploration of the Arts as living spaces that draw on the past, exist in the present and point us to the future. Ritual and everyday life meet at the threshold where devotion, labor, memory and movement intertwine.

Spend the night at the Museum and discover captivating installations and live performances that invite you to see these spaces in new ways. Plus, enjoy FREE admission to the gallery, with extended hours until 2 am.

Stay tuned for the full schedule coming soon!

The Museum of Tomorrow’s Memories is an outdoor installation that presents a series of sculptural works displayed on white plinths, arranged like a temporary museum in a public space. Familiar objects—a phone, stacks of event guides, soft materials—appear altered, fragmented, or incomplete, as if something essential has been lost. As audiences move through the installation, they encounter works including a plaster cast of a disconnected device, tightly compressed printed materials, footprints pressed into clay, and a bridge formed from dust and earth. A faint, fragmented voice moves through the space, appearing and fading without fully forming. Over the course of the night, the installation subtly shifts—objects disappear, meanings change, and no two visits are exactly the same.
