Shankar was instrumental in bringing Indian classical music to mainstream audiences in the west. George Harrison of The Beatles dubbed him the “Godfather of world music.” This is the first exhibition to ever showcase Shankar’s groundbreaking career through 100+ rare concert posters and psychedelic art prints created by noted artists of the time, photographs and portraits by famed photographers, videos, record covers and personal artifacts.
