The Bahrain National Museum was opened in 1988, one of the most important and oldest museums in Bahrain. It occupied a modern, ancient and huge building on the seafront. The Bahrain National Museum includes unique artefacts of the ancient Dilmun civilization, some ancient Islamic manuscripts, and some local animals and distinctive plants. The Bahraini National Museum also includes notable landmarks of value such as an early burial mound that was transferred to the museum from Hamad Town, a painting depicting Bahrain as the paradise of Dilmun in a scene from the Gilgamesh Epic, and a Buick car which is a gift from the US government which belongs to the first Prince Isa Ibn Salman Al Khalifa in the country.
