For nearly 60 years, Duke commissioned and collected artworks for the space, eventually forming a collection of over 4,000 objects. The structure was designed by Marion Sims Wyeth. An artistic reflection of the construction of Shangri La can be found in Kiana Davenport's novel Song of the Exile. The building was opened to the public as a museum, the Shangri La Museum for Islamic Art, Design & Culture, in 2002." (from Wikipedia). Very Good+ .
