Hello all !

I read a short piece from the Asahi-shimbun newspaper (March 2, 2001) that
the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Arts, Mr. Philippe de Montebello
has announced that he is prepared to visit Kabul with specialists to talk
with the Taliban leaders to take out the buddhist sculptures outside the
country for rescueing them from destruction. He says he will pay for the
courier fees and whatever.
From this news, it looks like that Mr. Montebello is the center person in
this emergency rescue action.

I look forward to hearing the other's news about this issue.

Stay-tuned to YOUR Museum-L !
