Jordan Museum

This museum is really unique. It’s very tiny but full of very important pieces in the world history and there is very important pieces. You can even touch them by your own hands. I really recommend visit this site in general. It’s really amazing. They love the Islamic castle and the Roman Temple it’s really amazing.

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.

The Jordan Museum is a great example of how a national museum should be designed—modern, engaging, and especially appealing to children and young visitors. In my opinion, all national museums should be designed in this way to attract the interest of the new generation. The exhibitions walk you through the history of these lands, showing who lived here and what happened over the centuries, supported with fascinating artifacts. One of the highlights is the Dead Sea Scrolls, considered to be the oldest manuscripts of the Bible—you should definitely take the time to see and read them. The upper floor is more child-oriented, focusing on Muslim scientists and inventors whose discoveries and innovations laid the foundation for many things we use today. There are interactive displays, stories, and even a small cinema room, making it both educational and fun. It’s 5 JD for foreign visitors, and unfortunately, being a foreign student in Jordan doesn’t give you a discount for museums or heritage sites, which was a bit disappointing👎 Still, highly recommend a visit!

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

The Jordan Museum has a great collection with lots of interesting pieces on history. Upstairs is especially nice for kids, with interactive sections that make it fun and engaging.

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.

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.
