Rasoun Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away in the charming village of Orjan, the Rasoun Museum feels less like a formal institution and more like stepping directly into a Jordanian family's cherished past. It grew from a personal passion for preserving the daily life and crafts of the region, transforming what was likely a traditional stone house into a vibrant community treasure. You'll find yourself surrounded by the textures of history—rough-hewn olive wood, the intricate patterns of woven textiles, and the gleam of aged copper. The air itself carries that distinct, comforting scent of old stone and memories, making every corner feel intimate and alive with stories.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the stunning collection of traditional Palestinian and Jordanian thobes, their embroidery so detailed you can almost feel the hands that stitched them. Another standout is the array of agricultural tools that speak volumes about the land's relationship with its people, alongside beautifully preserved copper coffee pots that were once the centerpiece of every social gathering.
Visitor Information
It's one of those places where you'll want to take your time; it’s compact but dense with meaning. Since it's a local gem, it's always a good idea to check for opening hours in advance or see if you can arrange a visit through a local guide in Orjan.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a classic Jordanian village building made from beautiful local stone, it has that authentic, rustic character with thick walls and arched doorways that keep the interior wonderfully cool.
