Home Visitors What’s On & What’s New Afghanistan Exhibition – Ottawa Tourism Official Site

AFGHANISTAN: Hidden Treasures

This acclaimed exhibition showcases treasures that miraculously survived war and chaos in Afghanistan. These stunning objects, from the National Museum in Kabul, were hidden for 20 years by a group of brave Afghans.

Today, they shine anew, unveiling the secrets of a rich and diverse ancient culture. AFGHANISTAN: Hidden Treasures features more than 200 artifacts, including exquisite gold jewellery, finely-carved ivory, delicate glassware and superb sculptures dating from around 300 BCE to 100 CE. If you’d like to take in the exhibition, book an Ottawa Tourism Cultural Odyssey or Family Discovery getaway package, including two night’s accommodation at your choice of Ottawa hotels and general admission to the Canadian Museum of Civilization and other Ottawa attractions.
