Located at the main tourist street and only three minute walk from the main gate to Petra. Opening Times Location Online bookingOpening TimesWe are open seven days a week throughout the year from 10 AM to 11.30 PM2000 years ago Petra society was described as "half Bedouin, half farmer". The same description was given to Petra society at the beginning of the nineteenth century. A team of partners and specialists have spent almost 10 years developing the idea of this exhibition to create a better understanding of the history and anthropology of the area. No one can deny the fact that the history of Petra is still alive. To explore this idea, we invite you to this new and exciting exhibition where you can see and enjoy a cultural experience:• Petra in the eyes of the first photographers.• Traditional tools and instruments.• An unforgettable cultural experience.• Local produce available to try and buy.We are trying to make our history understandable and to bring it to life. To experience all this, come and visit the new Petra Life Exhibition for Traditional Heritage, which must be seen to be believed!

This is confirmed in both historical and archaeological evidence, which is at hand for specialists and far away from ordinary persons. It became evident to the owners of this exhibition, who are native of Petra, that the society of Wadi Musa and tourists should not be isolated and must be incorporated in many cultural activities and events.Recent studies have shown that human patterns of life continued to be almost the same from the Nabataean period up to the end of the Ottoman period. From that time onwards, modern changes related to the globalization and social changes affected the community as well as lifestyles which led eventually to the loose of a considerable part of our heritage and traditions. If the situation continues as it is, the historical memory of the region will be erased gradually.It is a matter of fact that the visitors of Petra do not have full access to the cultural heritage of the region either tangible or intangible. They have access only to the archaeological site and all the information provided are relevant to the monuments of the city itself. Preserving and presenting other cultural heritage elements as tourism products seems to be a necessity since the Petra region lacks such important places. It is clear therefore that creating new attractions in Wadi Musa will help tourists enjoy the Jordanian cultural experience. The establishment of this exhibition will create this opportunity for the visitors of the archaeological site of Petra.We have created this permanent exhibition showing the history and heritage of the greater Petra region which is the only one of its kind in the southern part of Jordan to focus attention specifically on the heritage of our recent past. It represents a unique and valuable source of information and provides the perfect environment for visitors to explore a broad spectrum of topics related to the heritage of this part of the world during the last two centuries.

    The amazing history of Petra
    My suggestion was visit the Petra Museum first before going into the Petra site itself so you’ll have the energy to digest the following information and history that it offers. I love how the people who discovered the items inside. I also learned how the Roman influences the structures of how Nabateans are living from the past. It was an amazing experience. I was just bothered by fellow tourists who’s disrespectful and talking loudly inside. It is also the site (behind the Petra Museum exit) where you can take a small shuttle going to Little Petra.

    Lovely little museum to enhance your Petra experience.
    Lovely little free museum, beautifully laid out with plenty of information that will enhance you trip inside the Petra site. We did it after visiting, as we chose to go into Petra itself very early as it opened, to have the Tresury largely to ourselves. Lots of local area information on touch screens including geology, flora and fauna we found it quiet, peaceful and very cool (very effective air con) around two pm on a Sunday. Don't miss it.

    Knowledge available everywhere
    Fantastic information about the land a culture of the people of Petra. Facilities well preserved and clean with a small gift shop by the exit. Great he museum Has a partnership with the Japanese and you can see how well it works. Learn about more than five different periods of Petra and the civilizations that mark the place. Visit Jordan pass was worth h for the three days visit.

    The Petra Museum
    The Petra is now one of the World’s Wonder. My first visit was 22 years ago. Upon buying a ticket, you can access the museum. First of all, it’s very cold after a long walk under the sun, so a time to recharge energy. Museum is well maintained, many things to see and read, sculptures, statues, paintings and video shows. Immerse yourself in history of that ancient era when visiting the museum. Worth a visit.

    Good
    There is some information in the visitor centre, but all the exhibits have been removed and it looks like they are in the Petra museum next to the visitor centre. The museum is good, has interesting things to see that have been found at Petra. It helps as it gives lots more information about the site history and Nabateans that you don’t get from walking round the site. It’s free and you don’t need a Petra ticket to get in which is really helpful as you don’t need to use up time of your Petra days to look round. Disappointed they don’t have a cloakroom

    A well maintained free museum
    A well maintained museum with imaginatively displayed artefacts. It is free to enter and, if possible, you be seen before actually going to see the ruins themselves as there is an explanation as to why Petra came to be in this place. As well as the static displays (with explanations in English) there are also visual displays. It is up to you how much time you spend here (taking into account how long you may have to visit the ruins themselves) but if you have 30 minutes or an hour to spare you may find it time well spent.
