Kabul Museum was once considered the most comprehensive record of Central Asian history. Also known as Afghanistan National Museum, Kabul museum was one of the most famous archaeological sites in Afghanistan. Built in 1920, the museum was home to some of the finest collections in central Asia. Many antiquities from Kushan, early Buddhism and early Islam have been hosted by the museum. Some early manuscripts, miniatures, weapons and art objects belonging to former royal families were stored here. Almost 90% of the artifacts in the museum were excavated in Afghanistan and formed a complete historical record of the great cultural crossroad of Asia.
