The first in a series of international programs to commemorate the Golden
Jubilee of His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan is arriving in the
Northeastern USA later this month. The Aga Khan Trust for Culture's
Historic Cities Programme traveling exhibition will be in Washington
DC on September 22nd and 23rd from 10am-5pm at the American Institute
of Architects, 1735 New York Avenue NW, Washington DC 20006-5292. The
exhibit will be in Richmond, Virginia the following week. Admission
is free.

The exhibit, which features interactive displays, will showcase major
restoration projects, including Al Azhar Park in Cairo, the stone
mosques in Mali and projects in Afghanistan and Syria.  It will
provide insight into how the preservation of historic cultural and
religious monuments serves as a catalyst for socio-economic
development.
