The Restoration of Afghanistan’s Cultural Heritage

Natalie Halpern

Award-winning photojournalist Robert Nickelsberg has spent more than 30 years chronicling life in Afghanistan. The images he’s taken while covering the country for Time magazine and The New York Times capture the devastating impact decades of war have had on every aspect of society. That devastation includes the destruction of monuments and the theft of museum collections that represent much of the country’s cultural heritage and history.
