I am watching the News Hour with Jim Lehrer right now on PBS (yes I am a pseudo elitist...or a true true elitist pretending to be peudo...or.....oh, who knows).
They are showing in detail the Bactrian hoard (as only PBS can do) and its display at the National Gallery in Washington.
You must see it at whatever location it appears near you (right now DC). I have never seen a full display of the artifacts and there is a vast amount of mind numbing objects. It is apparently going around the US and I found this article as a reference.

and will move on to the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and finally, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
Oh, why couldn't I have the wealth a Kuwaiti royal.....sigh.
