The Jordan Museum

Experiencia positiva: Modern museum with some interesting exhibits, including the oldest known human statues. The displays are themed around human occupation of the area now called Jordan but the focus is on events long before the creation of the country. The displays are well labelled in Arabic and English. The building is airy and spacious. The only refreshment option is a coffee machine.

Experiencia fantástica: Important museum exhibiting many various artefacts from different periods. They have some of the Dead Sea Scrolls (no photos)! And a 3,699 year old wall painting. It’s more high tech than the Archaeological Museum but sparsely filled. If they out the two museums together it would be better. This one is a bit mishmash. Still, an excellent museum

Experiencia fantástica: Fascinating museum with excellent exhibits. The actual viewing times are limited; the museum stops admitting visitors at 2pm and closes at 3pm and is not open at all on some days. Non-flash photography is allowed, except in the Dead Sea scrolls gallery.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely brilliant museum and in my opinion, a must visit if you're in Amman. You'll journey through history and learn about the Nabateans who became wealthy through trade, architecture and were known as the masters of water engineering. By the way, did you know that Jordan suffers from a severe water shortage and is one of the driest countries in the world? There's also stone inscriptions containing various ancient languages. You can view dead sea scrolls as well which is fascinating! There's even a copper scroll containing inscriptions of hidden legendary treasure. You'll learn more about green energy and power conservation and how Jordan plans to implement more sustainable and renewable energy methods like harnessing the power of wind to go all natural and non polluting or use the power of the sun for solar energy. Theres also a section where you can translate your name to various different languages and actually print it to take it home. There's a lot of interactive screens which i love. Information is concise and informative. I enjoyed this museum.

Experiencia fantástica: Incredible display of the Jordanian culture, past and Heritage. The exhibition is extremely well developed and is one of the most complete and extended ones I've seen on the region. I must say that the machine where you can write your name in 5 different evolutions of the Arabic language used in the area was one of our fav, plus being able to print it!!!
