The Afghan Museum is located in the old "Speicher-stadt" of Hamburg. In a hundret years old ware-house, between a carpet-warehouse and the Museum of Spice, Afghan Museum makes the traditional Afghanistan accessible to the visitors. Among other things they show how a shoemaker traditionally

works how bread is made and how a carpetmaker also called a "Porcelain-Doctor", knots broken dishes back together (porcelain is very expensive in Afghanistan). Besides this, they present you the reproduction of the Fort of Bost, the Big Buddha of Bamiyam (the original was destroyed), the Minarett of Djam and many more.
