A Short Visit to the
National Museum of Afghanistan
The National Museum of Afghanistan has been amazingly repaired and restored. It gets a much better "grade" from this homeschooling mom than the National Gallery of Art does! The National Museum was rocketed and looted during the fighting in the 1990's. Objects that could be looted, were. However, many amazing items have been recovered. It should be clear that there are no oil paintings in the National Museum. At present, any oil paintings owned by the Government are located at the National Gallery of Afghanistan, closer to city center. The Bamyan Fine Art Gallery remains the best place to access any contemporary art being produced in Afghanistan today.
