Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:48:00

This recommended museum features exhibits from all eras of Jordanian history. The collection opens with 9000-year-old Neolithic statuettes found near present-day Amman, covers the Bronze and Iron Ages, continues through the Mamluk and Ottoman occupations, and closes with modern displays on rural Bedouin life. One of the highlights is a reconstruction of a traditional Arab pharmacy and smithy. The Numismatic Hall has some fascinating displays on the history of money over 2600 years. All displays are labelled in English.
