Kabul Museum Our Remarkable Legacy


I was interviewed earlier today for my opinions on Kabul Museum. Reconstructing Kabul is also about preserving our ancient relics, artwork and artifacts. This is Afghanistan’s inheritance.

The Afghan Government should play a significant role in taking care of the museum.

I’ve been there several times recently to make assessments. The road leading to the museum will be rebuilt and the surrounding area will be populated with trees and flowers.

If the museum wants to be become top notch and grab the international community’s interest it needs well trained staff, brochures and programs.

Seminars and workshops for youth groups should stimulate curiosity in our remarkable legacy.

A journalist recently asked me what my number one priority is. I find it difficult to prioritize because everything in Kabul needs urgent attention. The museum, however, hosts priceless items that deserve renewed consideration.

Kabul Municipality’s strategic approach to enhancing the museum should hopefully put it back on the world map.
   
Eventually we would like to move the contents in the museum to Darulaman Palace once it has been renovated.

  1. Dear Mayor of Kabul. As I know you may have a strategic plan for monicipality of Kabul and impelmenting it step by step. Currently Istanbul earn USD 1.8 Billion Dollar annually. all of this amount is revenues of Istanbul Municipality. Istanbul has 20 million population and it is a business hub city it can not be compared with Kabul. The main issue is this how you will improve revenues of this city. Bala Hissar ,Darulaman Palace,Kabul Museum should be improved and owned fully by municipality.All residents of the city regarding their properties category should pay an extra amount for rebuilding programs in Kabul city.only shops should be open not carriages in the city.Parks wih new designs and equipments should be build .... ...
