Afghanistan: Hidden Treasures from the National Museum, Kabul
Illustrated Lecture, with book signing |
| |
With their country in crisis, a small group of Afghans in 1978 hid thousands of artifacts and other ancient national treasures from their National Museum to protect them. The priceless hoard stayed safely secreted for 25 years as the Soviets invaded, bloody power struggles followed, and the Taliban took over. Then, in 2003, the Afghan government invited National Geographic archaeologist Fredrik Hiebert to inventory the artifacts. What he found astonished him -- and the rest of the world. This evening, he discusses these hidden treasures and how they were preserved. Book signing follows. Note: The exhibition is on view at the National Gallery of Art through Sept. 7, 2008.
$40, general; $30, members; call 202-633-3030
