The Kabul Museum, housed the most comprehensive record of Central Asian history. Many of its pieces have been dated as far back as pre-historic times. One of the museum’s largest displays, was the magnificent Bagram Collection. Discovered in 1939, by archaeologists excavating a Kushan fort, it contained an amazing 1,800 pieces from India, Rome, Greece, Egypt, and Central Asia.
It was greatI really felt the past 😊😊
I have really great memories from this museum in 2018 I spend mostly 2 and half hours there Im so thankful of Afghan Kabul Zamin Tours that prepared everything Wonderful

A top museum and one of my favourite places in Kabul.
Its good
Museum was great with seperate rooms with different eras but lots of precious items was removed and sent to other countries due to security reasons. Overall it worths the experiance.
It is good place i have seen many old antiques
museums in the world. Its exhibits, ranging from Hellenistic gold coins to Buddhist statuary and Islamic bronzes, testified to Afghanistan’s location at the crossroads of Asia. After years of abuse during the civil war, help from the international community and the peerless dedication of its staff means the museum is slowly rising from the ashes. The museum opened in 1919, and was almost entirely stocked with items excavated in Afghanistan. As the fall of communist Kabul became apparent with the Soviet withdrawal, many of the most valuable pieces were moved into secure storage, but the majority of exhibits remained in situ. Unfortunately the museum quickly found itself on the frontline of the mujaheddin’s terrible fight for Kabul. Between 1992 and ’94 the museum was used as a mujaheddin base. During this period the museum was massively looted – not just ransacked – but with care taken to select the most valuable pieces for resale on the illicit antique market (the museum’s library and inventory was also lost at this time, to hamper efforts to trace the provenance of stolen goods). Among the priceless treasures lost include many of the Bagram Ivories, the Kunduz Hoard of Graeco-Bactrian coins and unique Gandharan statues of Buddha. During this looting, the museum was further damaged by a rocket attack that destroyed its upper floor. When the Rabbani government regained control of the area, soldiers posted to guard the site continued ad hoc looting of their own. On capturing Kabul in 1996 the Taliban vowed to protect what remained, but it was a short-lived promise.
Most of the artifacts were stolen during the war, but fortunately most of them have been brought back to the country.
Kabul Museum, is a two-story building located 9 km southwest of the center of Kabul in Afghanistan. As of 2014, the museum is under major expansion according to international standards, with a larger size adjoining garden for visitors to relax and walk around.The museum was once considered to be one of the worlds finest.The museums collection had earlier been one of the most important in Central Asia,with over 100,000 items dating back several millennia. With the start of the civil war in 1992, the museum was looted numerous times resulting in a loss of 70% of the 100,000 objects on display.Since 2007, a number of international organizations have helped to recover over 8,000 artifacts, the most recent being a limestone sculpture from Germany.Approximately 843 artifacts were returned by the United Kingdom in 2012, including the famous 1st Century Bagram Ivories.

Once upon a time it was really a museum. Now, its a museum because there was a museum here.

Very rich for historical events. But goverment should place more facilities to encourage local and forieng people.
A small island of safety and tranquillity in Dar ul-Aman, a most frequently targeted area. Id definitely stay within these walls for a week if I could. Kidding. The fact is, Im really obsessed with history, and if you share the same passion, put this museum on your bucket list. I promise you wont be disappointed. Buddhas of all stripes, 18th century weapons, carvings, ethnic garments, wooden statues et alia are waiting for you.
The first museum in Afghanistan was established in 1919 at the Bagh-i-Bala palace overlooking Kabul, and consisted of manuscripts, miniatures, weapons and art objects belonging to the former royal families. A few years later the collection was moved to the kings palace in the ceter of the city and in 1931 it was officially installed in the present building, which had served as the Municipality. The original collection was dramatically enriched, beginning in 1922, by the first excavations of the Delegation Archeologique Francaise en Afghanistan (DAFA). Through the years other archaeological delegations have added their finds to the museum until today the collection spans fifty millenniums Prehistoric, Classical, Buddhist, hindu and Islamic and stands as one of the greatest testimonies of antiquity that the world has inherited.
It really needs plenty of work, staff and improvement to look like a real museum.
Very little things to see but it still word to see.
In this place we find information about history and art gallery of Ariana
you can see some ancient items from centuries ago
Debtor security concerns, you have go through impolite police staff. No restaurants or cafe to take a break in. Right in front of it, an unofficial bus stop, which makes it jammed at all times during the days.
A place to make yourself more familiar with the history and cultures of Afghanistan.
