A must visit while in Amman. located next to the City Hall, it is one of the best in the Middle East.

Nice collection (including some of the Dead Sea scrolls); perfect for a rainy (or sweltering hot) day.

Incredible display of the Jordanian culture, past and Heritage. The exhibition is extremely well developed and is one of the most complete and extended ones I've seen on the region. I must say that the machine where you can write your name in 5 different evolutions of the Arabic language used in the area was one of our fav, plus being able to print it
