National Museum Afghanistan
The brick cross vaults majestically arch to form a spectacular space. Galleries placed in the area create detours and byways and facilitate didactic routing in this museum design, which is both vernacular and representative. The exhibition space is complemented by Oriental-inspired atriums, which offer the museum visitors a space for contemplation and for processing the exhibition.
