The National Museum of Afghanistan, standing at the crossroads of Central, Western and Eastern Asia, has been a natural home to an impressive collection of artefacts that spans over 50,000 years of history. Yet most of its collection has been destroyed or looted over four decades of war. The museum is currently at the latter end of a four-year project that aims to restore a selection of artefacts saved by staff over the years, and hopes to unveil them in an exhibition later this year.
