Doris Duke’s Shangri La is the first exhibition to allow audiences, beyond visitors to the house, the opportunity to experience Shangri La’s distinctive blend of architecture, landscape and Islamic art. To achieve this purpose, 60 works of Islamic art are featured alongside architectural sketches, archival photographs, videos and large-scale color photographs of the estate. In addition, eight artists who have participated in Shangri La’s artist-in-residence program, including Ayad Alkadhi, have contributed new work to the exhibition.
