Jordan Museum

A very interesting museum that I enjoyed visiting. It is not very large nor well-funded. Simple really. The second floor is primarily for children to educate them on the history of Muslim contributions to science and art. It is certainly worth seeing this. Some good exhibits on very early human habitation, tools and tools, pottery, etc. found in Jordan. The final exhibit concerns the Dead Sea Scrolls which I enjoyed as well.

As a Jordanian, I was blown away by the Jordan Museum! The exhibits, architecture, and overall design are truly world-class. From the stunning statues to the cleverly divided sections, every detail is thoughtfully curated. What really impressed me was the affordability of the ticket price considering the museum's prime location. The security staff from the main gate to inside the museum were professional, while the museum staff were friendly and helpful. I also loved the unique features that set this museum apart - visitors are allowed to touch some of the statues, and the fascinating service that lets visitors translate their names into ancient languages and print them out on paper! This was a fun and memorable experience. If I have a couple of suggestions, it would be to add more seating areas on the first floor, and perhaps consider installing vending machines that offer refreshments like water or light snacks, especially that the coffee shop was closed. After about two hours of exploring, we found ourselves in need of a drink, and it would have been great to have that option available. Overall, a fantastic experience that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Amman!

Awesome place to go. Regreat that I didn't bring my kids with me today. We will definitely visit here again. Have many things to experience and explore for kids. Children under 18 yrs for 0.25, adults for 1.0 students are 0.25 too. Should show them a student's ID for three students' discounts

One of the best and new museums around in Jordan. The museum was inaugurated and open for the public sometime in 2024. The museum spans over 2 floors with the lower floor for historical artifacts, while the upper floor mostly scientific, and very appropriate for kids to explore. The lower floor shows the history of Jordan over the years, and has mostly Greek and Roman artifacts. There is also a section for Christianity in Jordan. The upper floors displays Arab scientists, and there are audio explanations at each stop, making it an appealing place for kids to visit and spend a few hours at. They have ample parking onsite. Tickets are bought at the entrance. The museum has a clear walking path. Expect to spend 1 hour onwards.

This museum, is amazing. One of the best history museums I've seen in my life. This is a very well thought of series of exhibits with great explanations, there is plenty to get even the least interested visitor engaged on the ground floor, at the main exhibition. The second floor blew my mind. It's planned with kids in mind, it shows the inventions of the Arabic world and showcases both female and male inventors. It's very interactive, great fun also as an adult. 10/10 would go again!

Interesting museum, located in the downtown area, presenting the history of Jordan through different eras, and its containing some interesting pieces like the famous two-headed statue and the black basalt basilica and also the Dead Sea ancient scrolls, very organized, you can interact with some replicas by touching, also the second floor contains the 1001 invention section to know more about Arab/Muslim inventors. Staff were very friendly, entry fees for local are 1 JD, the have free car parking inside the muse campus. Give it a visit if you can.

More educational for students rather than showing rich and long history with antiquities and artifacts. The Dead Sea scroll is the highlight. Jordan pass is not accepted here.

The museum is worth visiting and the entrance is 5 JOD (+- 6,30 EUR) Just to let you know the Jordan pass isn't included in this place, so one way or another you have to pay the entrance.
