The Museum of Jordanian Heritage

the Museum of Jordanian heritage was established in 1988 in cooperation with the German government aiming at highlighting the research and field projects conducted by the faculty researchers and technicians, whether independently or in cooperation with other local and foreign institutes.

The museum recounts the story of mankind in Jordan from its earliest stages until today. The objectives of the Museum of Jordanian heritage are:

1-       To preserve the national cultural heritage through artifact preservation, provide the proper documentation, establish the provenance of objects, and restore them when needed in the conservation lab.

2-       The museum’s collections that are chronologically classified are useful tools in teaching processes where students can examine and compare various types of artifacts from various locations that are chronologically varied.

3-       The museum promotes the Jordanian cultural heritage through presenting a coherent story of the cultural development that Jordan has passed. In addition, it opens its exhibits to the general public on a daily basis. The museum plays an important role in promoting public awareness by emphasizing the importance of the Jordanian heritage as an integral part of the World Heritage, which can be achieved through the interaction with the local community using seminars, workshops, exhibits and specially designed educational programs for school children.
