The Importance of Museums

“The ethnographic objects are the identification of our country. Our customs, our clothes, are what identify us as Afghans; they are distinct. The role of the museum is very important in displaying this. It is important for people of Afghanistan – those who lived outside as refugees- to learn who we are, what we are.”
