For visitors who come to the Aga Khan Museum, the objects they encounter can be seen as points in a journey that connect cultures across time. The history of Islamic civilizations is one that can be characterized by continuous encounters with neighbouring peoples over fourteen hundred years. Spread across a vast region that stretched from Spain in the west to China in the east, the opportunities for interactions abounded, fuelled by trading contacts made over the land-based Silk Road and the maritime routes of the spice trade, and through cohabitation in regions such as Spain, Sicily, Africa, the Balkans, Central Asia, China, India, and Southeast Asia.'
