The
Kabul Museum: victim of war and iconoclasm. A collection with six pieces
2003
Once the Afghanistan National Museum aka the Kabul Museum, exhibited its
extra ordinary collection with artifacts representing thousands of years
of human culture. Today, the museum is the sad reflection of human action
over the past 13 years. The building is severally damaged, a large part
of its collection looted, left are the debris of artifacts intentionally
destructed by the Taliban. Under the management of an involved but very
carefull director (lip tied about saved pieces hidden at secret locations),
the museum is rehabilitating step by step. |
