The National Museum was later moved in 1985 , renamed to the <unk> Museum , and converted to a regional museum . After shutting down , the National Museum later reopened . As of January 2014 , it holds many culturally important artefacts , including old coins , <unk> tools , traditional artwork , ancient weaponry and pottery items .
