The CTI Archive and Museum

Currently in the planning stages, the Museum and Archive will house physical documents, visual art, and many other items, both secular and sacred.

Our Goal

Our goal is to provide exhibition, conservation, and storage spaces for archival records, as well as cultural artifacts and personal belongings, of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, including examples of his work as a visual artist.

The Institute has been given one of Chogyam Trungpa’s rare paintings: the Smoke Dragon, which is his largest painting. This painting is a gift of Diana J. Mukpo and the Mukpo family. After reframing, this unusual and evocative work of art will be prominently displayed at Naropa University and will be the first permanent exhibition of the artist’s work at the Institute.
