Jordan Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away in the heart of the Ras al-Ein district, The Jordan Museum serves as the kingdom's premier cultural treasure chest. It doesn't just display artifacts; it weaves a compelling narrative of human history from the first flint tools to modern statehood. You can easily spend hours wandering its spacious, modern halls, each turn revealing another layer of this land's incredible story. It’s far more than a museum; it’s the definitive introduction to Jordan itself.
Collection Highlights
The stars of the show are undoubtedly the Ain Ghazal Statues, some of the oldest human figures ever found. Don't miss the Dead Sea Scrolls, specifically the Copper Scroll, and a fascinating replica of the Mesha Stele that tells of ancient Moabite kings.
Visitor Information
It's located right on Ali bin Abi Taleb Street, so it's quite central. Check their website for current opening hours and ticket prices, as they can change for holidays. Planning for at least three hours here is a good idea to do it justice.
Architecture & Building
The building is a striking example of contemporary Jordanian design, with clean lines, vast windows that flood the galleries with light, and subtle architectural nods to traditional forms.
