Description
Kalasha Dur Museum also known as Bamborate Museum located in Chitral District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The Kalasha Dur Museum construction work started in 2001 and was completed in 2005. There are about 1300 objects exhibited which are of Ethnological interest from the Kalasha Tradition and from the traditions of the wider Hindu Kush area. The building is composed of two floors; the ground floor has the Ethnological collection of the Kalasha culture and the wider Hindu Kush area and the other floor houses a school of Kalasha culture with a library of books written on the valley, and also a hall for professional training of local crafts. The members of the "Greek Volunteers" were responsible for much of the collection exhibited in the museum. Volunteers would visit the Kalasha Valleys with a view to buying traditional objects or to exchange them with modern ones.
