Afghan Exhibit in San Francisco
I've always enjoyed looking at archaeological sites of old civilizations and their trappings. In most of the countries that I've visited, I've usually found that the good (and portable) stuff like the gold artifacts, pottery, statues, etc from archaeological sites are moved to the national museums of the country; so I tend to spend a day in the capital solely to visit the national archaeological museums.
This WSJ article on an exhibition of the best archaeological pieces from Afghanistan whets my appetite to visit the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco to check it out.
