Shangri La was one of 50 international institutions lending collections to “Beauty and Belief,” a large exhibition that opened at the Brigham Young University (BYU) Museum of Art in Provo, Utah, on February 24, 2012. Curated by Dr. Sabiha Al Khemir, originally from Tunisia, “Beauty and Belief”sought to provide “a view from within Islamic culture” to bridge differences and inspire insight through beauty. Thirteen of the 250 objects in the exhibition were from the DDFIA collection; they date from the early 10th through 19th centuries and include ceramics, glass, doors, hanging lamps, textiles and a page from a very early North African Qur’an.
