Shangri La Museum of Islamic Art, Culture & Design

The Shangri La Museum of Islamic Art, Culture & Design, located on Oahu, stands as the only museum in the United States dedicated to Islamic art. Originally the opulent waterfront estate of heiress and philanthropist Doris Duke, it now houses nearly 4,500 pieces from her extensive collection. The museum’s galleries and gardens offer a rich tapestry of Islamic art, culture, and design. Visitors can explore special exhibitions, attend lectures, and experience performances by artists in residence, all set against the backdrop of Duke’s meticulously preserved estate.
