content: This interview focuses on provincial museums in Afghanistan, not only currently in existence, but also planned or proposed museums. Mr. Masoudi discusses the five provincial museums that existed prior to 1981; efforts beginning in 2002 establish or reestablish a provincial museum in twelves provinces; the current seven open and functioning museums, as well as seven more museums with collections but not open to the public; and the history and status of all fourteen museums.
