Afghanistan: Hidden Treasures From the National Museum - Kabul August 16, 2009

Ancient Afghanistan -- at the crossroads of major trade routes and the focus of invasions by great powers and nomadic migrations -- was home to one of the most complex, rich and original civilizations on the continent of Asia. This exhibition will celebrate the unique role of Afghanistan as a center for both the reception of diverse cultural elements and the creation of original styles of art that combine multiple stylistic materials.
