The Jordan Museum, Archaeological museum in Downtown Amman, Jordan

The Jordan Museum contains collections from prehistoric times through Islamic periods, displaying pottery, coins, inscriptions, and archaeological discoveries from regional sites.

Founded in 1952 and reopened in 2014, the museum preserves Jordan's heritage through exhibits spanning multiple historical periods, from the Paleolithic Age onward.

The Dead Sea Scrolls exhibition highlights the religious and historical importance of Jordan as a meeting point between ancient civilizations in the Middle East.

The museum operates from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM during summer months and 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in winter, with guided tours available.

The museum houses the plaster statues of Ain Ghazal, which represent some of the earliest human figures created in the Neolithic period.
