【推荐3】Surviving treasures from the National Museum of Afghanistan

AFGHANISTAN: CROSSROADS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD

3 MARCH—3JULY 2021

At the heart of the Silk Road, Afghanistan linked the great trade routes of ancient Iran, Central Asia, India and China, and the more distant cultures of Greece and Rome. Once nearly lost, precious objects that reveal this diverse past were bravely hidden in 1989 by officials from the National Museum of Afghanistan to save them from destruction.

The surviving treasures date from 2000 BC to the 1st century AD and include rich gold ornaments (装饰品) found at a burial site and limestone (石灰石) sculptures of a Greek city.

This is a unique opportunity to discover the story of Afghanistan’s ancient culture, its immense fragility, and the remarkable dedication shown to its survival and protection.
