Players From three teams Went to National Museum
60 بازیکن از موزیم ملی دیدن به عمل آوردند و از اشیای باستانی به شمول موترهای قدیمی و بس برقی دهه 70 بازدید نمودند. شخص راهنما بسیار مشتاق به نظر می‌رسید و در حالیکه ماحولموزیم را به این بازیکنان نشان میداد، تاریخچه هر کدام از این اشیاء را نیز بیان می‌نمود. بازیکنان واقعاً لذت بردند و احساس کردند که این همان فرصتی است که می‌توانند نکاتی درباره تاریخ افغانستان و کشورهای همسایه بیاموزند. تمام بازیکنان یکجا شدند و یکصدا فریاد زدند یک ملت یک صدا و مردم هم برای تماشا حس وطن پرستی این بازیکنان گرد آنها جمع شدند
60 لوبغاړي د 70 لسيزې د پخواني آثارو یعنې پخواني موټرونو، وینجینونو او یو تراموای ( برقي اور ګاډي) د لیدو لپاره د موزیم څخه کتنه وکړه. لارښوونکی ډېر حیران شوی وو او لوبغاړو ته یې د موزیم چاپېریال وښود، هغه د څو لاسي آثارو د تاریخچې په اړه لوبغاړو ته معلومات ورکړ. لوبغاړو د دې بیاکتنې څخه خوند واخیست او دایې د افغانستان او ګاونډیو هېوادونو د تاریخ د غوره پېژندنې لپاره ښه فرصت وګڼه. ټول لوبغاړي یو ځای سره غونډ شول او یو ملت یو غږ سندره یې وبلله. باید دا هم ووېل شي چې په موزیم کې ټول حاضرین د لوبغاړو د وطن پالنې د حس د لیدو لپاره ولاړ ول.
60 players visited the museum and looked through all the artifacts including the vintage cars and the engine of a tram from the 70's. The guide was very enthusiastic and took the players around, explaining the history of the several artifacts. The players really enjoyed and felt that it was a chance to understand the history of Afghanistan and its neighbors better. All the players came together and resonated 'One Nation One Voice' and of course all the people at the museum gathered to see the patriotic sentiment of the players.

Exhibit of Treasures from Afghanistan
Event: Afghanistan: Hidden Treasures from National Museum, Kabul
Venue: Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
Date: March 1, 2009
Acclaimed touring exhibition of Ancient Treasures from Afghanistan opened at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Afghanistans hidden treasures from National Museum, Kabul was organized by the National Geographic Society and the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
Extraordinary artifacts uncovered in modern day Afghanistan, once the heart of the Silk Road linking cultures from Asia to the Mediterranean, were long thought stolen or destroyed during some 25 years of conflict. In 2003, a dramatic announcement was made of their existence. More than 200 of these precious objects will be on view in Afghanistan: Hidden Treasures from National Museum, Kabul, at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH) from March 1 through May 17, 2009, as part of a national tour that has generated critical acclaim.
However, according to some onlookers the exhibit was not very impressive as some felt it appealed more to the women as it was a display of gold and accessories. What has got a buzz is MFAH and their growing interest in different cultures and traditions.
Restoring Afghan treasures in the National Museum
(4 Sep 2012) The National Museum of Afghanistan was looted and plundered during years of civil year, and Taliban rule.
Now it�s been restored to its former glory after international donors returned looted treasures.
This Bodhisattva Siddhartha Buddha from the 4th-5th century graces the hallway of the newly restored National Museum of Afghanistan.
The freshly-painted walls, and glass cabinets are far removed from the museum's more violent past.
Its building was shelled, looted and caught fire during the 1990s civil war. Taliban extremists later smashed many centuries-old statues.
Afghan National Museum director, Omara Khan Massoudi, says the staff worked to restore the museum artifacts.
After collapse of Taliban the ministry of Information and Culture and we all together try our best to rebuild all our departments from zero. Now all our department is very active, I am very happy we were able to restore and also clean, treat the artifacts which needed urgent treatment, says Massoudi.
Right down to the power cuts that frequently plunge its artifacts into shadow, the National Museum of Afghanistan is a symbol of the country's recent hardships.
The Museum was in good condition up to end of 1992, everything was in progress. Unfortunately when the civil war started in Kabul especially in this area the Museum was looted too much, destroyed too much and unfortunately by the effects of rockets the upper floor of the building caught fire we lost about 70 percent of our artifacts, says Massoudi.
Now, the museum is slowly being restored thanks to international efforts to return thousands of looted treasures - and to heroic Afghan staff members who hid its most priceless works during the war years and kept the secret for more than a decade.
Recently, the museum welcomed home nearly 850 Afghan artifacts - including a 3,000-year-old Bronze Age axe, a first century ivory elephant carving and a life-sized Buddha statue - that were either stolen from the museum or illegally excavated during decades of insecurity.
The British Museum catalogued and helped return the pieces in cooperation with British authorities, who seized many from smugglers. It was the second huge handover of Afghan historical pieces by the British Museum. In 2009, about 1,500 historical pieces were returned.
The aim is to restore the facility to its pre-war reputation as one of the finest in the region, with displays ranging from the Bronze Age to more contemporary Islamic art.
Chief curator Mohammad Fahim Rahimi proudly shows off the museum's latest acquisition: a Buddha statue, which is estimated at about 1,700 years old.
Looted from the museum during the civil war that followed the Soviet occupation, the statue turned up in Japan in a private collection before it was bought by an anonymous donor who arranged for the British Museum return to its Afghan home, Rahimi says The statue is an example of art from Afghanistan's long Buddhist history, before the arrival of Islam.
Rahimi says the statue is part of the country's heritage.
It is very old I mean, it is about made about 2nd century, which is quite old for the Buddha statues that was made. And also this statue represents the miracle of Buddha in Sravasti, he says.
That's a heritage that not all appreciate. In 2001, the Taliban dynamited a pair of giant Buddhas carved into a mountain in Bamiyan province. Around the same time, the Taliban also rampaged through the national museum, smashing any statues depicting the human form, considered idolatrous under their hardline interpretation of Islam.
The recently returned Buddha statue's long exile abroad at least protected it from that fate, Rahimi says.
The pieces remained hidden until 2003,.

Artworks at Afghan national museum restored 18 years after Taliban rampage
18 years after the Afghan national museum was destroyed by the Taliban, workers are mending the country's history piece by piece by hand. They are restoring artworks and smashed statues in a recovery effort that began in 2004. More than 2,500 statues were shattered in the 2001 cultural rampage, as the Taliban claimed the figurines were against Islam.

Kabul Exhibition Displays Newly Excavated Ancient Artifacts
U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry announced a $5 million donation to build a new museum to house Afghan treasures that are currently touring the world but have never been publicly displayed in their home country. Archaeologists and Afghan officials hail the exhibit - and a partnership with a yet-to-to-be-named American museum - as a new age for Afghan culture and a way to unite Afghanistan's ethnic groups.
Kabul museum restores art shattered by Taliban
(20 Aug 2019) The Taliban fighters arrived at the National Museum of Afghanistan with hammers and hatred.
What they left behind is laid out on tables at the National Museum of Afghanistan 18 years later: shattered pieces of ancient Buddha figurines, smashed because they were judged to be against Islam.
Museum workers in Kabul have been trying to fit them together again as a nervous country waits for the Taliban and the US to reach a deal on ending America's longest war.
The agreement is expected to lead to intra-Afghan talks in which the extremist group would play a role in shaping Afghanistan's future.
As the workers pick with gloved hands through neatly arranged shards labeled ears, hands, foreheads, eyes, the uncertainty that grips Afghanistan feels especially fragile.
Few details have emerged from several rounds of US-Taliban negotiations held over the past year, and no one knows what a Taliban return to the capital, Kabul, might look like.
The country still sees near-daily attacks not only by the long-established Taliban, who now control about half of Afghanistan, but also from a brutal local affiliate of the Islamic State group.
The Taliban's five-year rule imposed a harsh form of Islamic law, denying girls education, banning music and banishing women to their homes.
It ended shortly after the US-led invasion following the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, as the Taliban had harboured al-Qaida and its leader Osama bin Laden.
Sherazuddin Saifi remembers the day the Taliban arrived at the national museum in 2001, a period of cultural rampage in which the world's largest standing Buddha statues in Bamyan province were dynamited, to global horror.
For several days, the Taliban demanded access to the national museum's rich trove of artefacts from Afghanistan's millennia-old history as a crossroads of cultures: Greek, Persian, Chinese and more.
They set upon offending items that showed human forms, even early Islamic ones, with hammers or dashed them against the floor.
We couldn't do anything, they took all the museum staff out and they took all the items out of the box and smashed them into pieces, says Saifi, part of the restoration team.
More than 2,500 statues were shattered, parts of them ground into powder. Restoration work could take a decade, Saifi said, but we really feel happy after we put these pieces together again and revive their meaning.
Among the objects destroyed were the Hadda figurines, a notable collection of Buddhist sculptures discovered decades ago in eastern Afghanistan near today's city of Jalalabad.
Photographs that remain of the intact figurines, and the shards themselves, hint at delicate curls of hair or lip.
The Taliban smashed them in thousands of pieces, many the size of fists or even a coin. Now some of the shattered heads are held together with rubber bands in the workshop, part of a sprawling puzzle that can take days of patient effort to join a single piece to another.
The Hadda figurines are the museum's most visible sign these days of the years-long recovery from the turmoil in Afghanistan that began even before the Taliban, when warlords fought over Kabul in the wake of a Soviet retreat.
Much of the museum's holdings, thousands of pieces, were looted and the building was shelled, though some treasures were hidden in the presidential palace and elsewhere.
The roof of the room where the Hadda figurines are now being pieced together was destroyed.
