Jordan is the crossroads of civilization. The Jordan Museum displays many artifacts that go back thousands of years. However, Jordan was the center of revolutions, with industrial and agricultural innovations that changed the world. The Jordan Museum is an insight into the ancient Middle East

A nicely laid out museum, with some good exhibits (such as some of the earliest human statues ever discovered). One floor is currently occupied by a very interesting exhibition on ancient scientific discoveries in the Arab world. The museum though is not as large as you might expect and one wonders where a lot of finds from places such as Jerash & Petra might actually be housed. Entry is not covered by the Jordan Pass. The entrance is on the opposite side to the bus station (not as indicated by Google walking directions).

The Jordan museum tells the story of Jordan throughout the ages. It took me a full two hours to see all of the exhibits in this modern museum, opened in 2006. Some of the exhibits date back thousands of years, such as the prehistoric stone tools. There is a two-headed statue that is over 9500 years old and is one of the oldest human statues in the world. At one exhibit, you could see your name in Jordan's different alphabets. In another rooms, there is an exhibit of the Dead Sea scrolls. On the upper floor was an exhibit I has seen in London in 2010. The "1001 Inventions: Discovering Our Past . . Inspiring Our Future" exhibit featured Arab discoveries and scientific advancements during the so-called "Dark Ages".

The Museum is a gem with some really interesting exhibitions which provide a lot of information on the history, archeology, and general interest topics on Jordan. You will not be disappointed in any way, parking is easy, the staff are welcoming and friendly. There is plenty to excite the your interest no matter your age.

This museum is an absolute treasure trove! Packed with mind-boggling exhibits that'll transport you back in time and leave you wanting more. From ancient artifacts to fascinating stories, there's something for everyone. Plus, the friendly staff and easy parking make it a total breeze to visit. Don't miss out on this epic adventure!

A tour from the old period to new Jordan. A visit to The Jordan Museum was so fruitful. Exploring the map, population, energy power, how to prepare Mansaf, old stones from thousands of years, traditional dresses, weapons, utensils, old languages and many others. Visit 1001 Inventions Exhibition, and meet old Muslim and Arab scientists, fly with Ibn Fernas, indulge in some interesting history games, take a photo with old dress with Al Jahez. Such a great visit. Entry ticket is very reasonable.

This museum, is amazing. One of the best history museums I've seen in my life. And I'm Italian, I've seen a lot of rocks in buildings. 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!

Very nice museum exploring the history of Jordan. Lots of interesting pieces to see with plenty of information (in English), and a dedicated Dead Sea Scrolls room. A definite 'must visit' when in Amman.
