Art

The Afghani people have included art into their culture for centuries. Afghanistan is home to the oldest oil painting ever discovered. Islam was the focal point of the nation's art for a long time, but in the modern day, artists are finding inspiration in a wide variety of other places. Many of the top painters in Afghanistan present their works at the National Gallery, which also houses a sizable collection of regional art. The National Museum and Archives, both of which are located in Kabul, are additional locations where Afghani art can be viewed.

More than any other country's political or military outlook, Afghanistan has always affected international cultures and heritage. A peek of the region and its inhabitants can be seen in traits like pride in one's own honor and a long history. Physically, the two Afghanistans rarely differ from one another. But the impact of nearby nations and the lingering effects of a devastating civil war have made the populace wary of outside involvement. The Afghan people are hospitable and diligent. The home is the core of their life and work. The highest respect and esteem are shown to women.
