National Gallery of Kabul, Kabul (must see)

The National Gallery of Kabul is the home of a great collection of historic pictures and paintings by Afghan artists of the 20th century. The National Gallery and other cultural institutions in the city have suffered from Taliban knife attacks, but many works were preserved, over-painted and restored. Over 120 paintings of the National Gallery were saved to prove that a nation stays alive as long as its culture is alive.
