About Shangri La[edit]

As a museum of Islamic art, culture and design, Shangri La Museum creates bold and innovative exhibitions, guided tours, public programs and digital initiatives that inspire people, ideas and actions to be citizens of the world. Shangri La supports several artist and scholar residencies each year. Previous residencies include visual artist Shahzia Sikander and jazz composer Amir ElSaffar. Built in 1937 as the Honolulu home of American heiress and philanthropist Doris Duke (1912-1993), Shangri La was inspired by Duke’s extensive travels throughout North Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia and reflects architectural traditions from India, Iran, Morocco and Syria. The permanent collection features over 2,500 objects from Spain, Morocco, Egypt, Syria, Iran, Central Asia, India and parts of Southeast Asia. Shangri La is a program of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation through the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art.
