The National Gallery of Afghanistan is housed in a restored old Kabul house and gives a rare look at Afghan painting, portraiture, and cultural memory. Its collection has suffered badly from war and looting, which makes what remains feel more fragile and more important.
Expect a modest gallery rather than a polished international museum. The strongest reason to come is to see Afghan landscapes, portraits, and surviving works in a city where cultural institutions have had to endure more than most.
