Afghan National Museum
The Afghan National Museum is a place for storage and appreciation of old Afghan items of interest. It is positioned in Kabul, Afghanistan, a historic city of many Afghans.
During the reign of the prior Taliban regime of Afghanistan, many statues and artifacts were destroyed under government order. No longer is this actively done.
Many treasures of ivory are stored there, as also are antiquities from Kushan, early Buddhism, and early Islam.
It was founded in the 1920s.
