Jordanian Museum of Popular Traditions

Experiencia positiva: A small museum attached to the Roman Amphitheater but rich in culture. Definitely worth a visit. Gorgeous Bedouin garments and jewellery to view.

Experiencia fantástica: The museum is nice, well organized. The traditional stuff there are well presented

Experiencia positiva: Nice museum which gives a good idea about the clothes in Amman and other Jordanian and Palestinian cities in the last century. Located in the center of old city of Amman, near the Roman Theatre and the Citadel. Car parkings are available and most of them are free. Recommended.

Experiencia positiva: Located within the Roman Amphitheater complex are two small museums, the Museum of folklore and the Museum of popular traditions. Permission to visit this Museum of Popular Traditions is granted with purchase of the Roman Amphitheatre ticket. This museum, though small, still has quite a large collection of clothes, masks, corals, agate, silver jewelry, wall hangings, bedouin stones, and decorative headscarves and other jewelry from the different periods in the history of Jordan. They are beautifully displayed and give us a glimpse of life of the Jordanian people and the different ethnic that lived in Jordan over the ages.

Experiencia positiva: Good Contribution of an individual. This is one of the two museums collocated with Roman Amphitheater. The Museum was Founded by Mrs. Sadiyeh Asfi Tel in 1971. Museum has collection of head wear, bead and silver jewelry, Also some info about the contents of Bridal chest used in Jordan and Palestine.. There is good collection of mosaic on display collected from various Sources. Considering efforts of an individual Museum is quite good.
