Français English Home Focus ... Print this page UNESCO Action Areas Education Natural Sciences Culture Communication Kabul Museum: Keeping Afghanistan's culture alive A banner hung over the entrance of Kabul museum earlier this year proudly proclaimed: “A nation stays alive when its culture stays alive.” Inside, however, tells a different story. Once one of the cultural icons of Kabul, the museum was repeatedly hit by rockets during the 1991-96 civil war, and two-thirds of its unique collection systematically looted. Many irreplacable items, such as the Begram ivories (right), the entire numismatic collection, and fragments of Buddhist wall paintings from the Bamiyan Valley disappeared. Later, the Taliban smashed many of its Greco-Buddhist statues. Of two nearly 2,000-year-old statues – one believed to represent the Kushan King Kanishka I, the other a Kushan nobleman - that once graced the entrance hall, nothing is left but the feet. The fragments of these and other smashed statues are piled in crates in the museum, in the hope that experts, using digital and virtual assembly techniques, can reconstitute some of them. It is also hoped to bring back items taken abroad illegally as soon as the museum is secure. With the help of Greece, the museum building, which is situated in the war-ravaged suburb of Darulaman, some eight kilometres from the centre of Kabul, is to regain its roof and windows. Efforts to restore the museum’s collection have already begun, with CEREDAF, a French NGO, furnishing the required materials, and the Musee Guimet of France, the British Museum and the SPACH (Society for the Protection of Afghanistan’s Cultural Heritage, an NGO) contributing to the inventory and training of personnel.

Afghanistan Afganistan Human Rights Report Afghanistan Superstitions Ramadan Food and Recipes Afghanistan Religion ... Afghani Parables Afghan Culture Cultural Life In Afghanistan Afghanistan has a rich cultural heritage covering more than 5,000 years. Because of almost complete isolation from the outside world, however, little in art, literature, or architecture was produced between the 16th and early 20th centuries. Because most Afghans live outside the cities, their mode of living can be described as that of a peasant tribal society. Kinship is the basis of social life and determines the patriarchal character of the community. Religion plays a very important role. Archaeological research carried out since 1922 has uncovered many fine works of art of the pre-Islamic and Islamic periods. A revival of the traditional arts and an interest in new forms of expression have given a new dynamism to artistic creation. Of the new painters, some draw direct inspiration from the Herat school of the 15th-century Timurid period; others are influenced by Western styles. Through government initiative, some of the old monuments of architectural value are being restored and redecorated. The School of Fine Arts was established in Kabul in the 1930s. In architecture, the traditional Timurid techniques are preserved, particularly in the design of the exterior walls of mosques or tombs. Handicrafts include the world-renowned Afghan carpets and copper utensils.

you are here home Asia Afghanistan Culture Afghanistan, Culture The culture of Afghanistan reflects its ancient roots and position as a crossroads for invading ethnic groups and traditions. Little the Afghans make is unattractive; even common grain bags to carry produce to market are often embroidered to make them more beautiful. A camel caravan of nomads often looks like a circus parade, with the animals decked out in woven finery. The Islamic traditions of fine calligraphy and graphic arts are evoked in the fine filigreed flourishes that decorate many buildings. Poetry and poets are revered. Although the people of Afghanistan may have been sorely stressed by centuries of warfare and a difficult environment, their arts have prospered nonetheless. deeper links Literature Art and Architecture Music Libraries and Museums search this website :: site map privacy legal
