The Palace Museum, Beijing

This exhibition shows more than 200 precious cultural artifacts, presenting a vivid picture of Afghanistan between the 3rd century BCE and the 1st century CE. This is the most vibrant period in Afghan history, also coinciding with the initial phase of the Silk Road. However, some earlier dated objects excavated from Tepe Fullol show Afghan culture in the Bronze Age. Through the exhibition, the audience is able to appreciate the beauty of these cultural artifacts and the culture of the Silk Road, as well as to gain a deep understanding of the rich history and culture of Afghanistan.
