Beautifully designed museum. One of the best I have been to without being bored and running out. It is quite impressive in terms of design and showcasing. The tools they show that our ancestors used for daily chores and how that has evolved to what we know today made is so relatable. As it was previously a house for one of the oldest families in salt, the stones the house is made of and their cooling effect makes you understand why they didn’t require fans or air conditioning yet makes you wonder how on earth did they stay warm during winter. Definitely worth a visit and no entry fees

Sorry, it's not worth it. Neat old building, but there is nothing inside of interest. Just a dozen rooms of littered artifacts. We looked for rooftop cafe or seating with a view, none to be found. They tried to make it interesting, English signs, but it's not. They accept JPass. Parking gratis underground across the street, easy to miss the tiny sign. Parking on the street is barely doable, traffic is chaos.

A fine museum in Salt in the old downtown area. The place spans across 2 floors, and is quite small. Going to the upper floor involves stairs that must be climbed with care. Museum artifacts are quite limited, yet explain the history of the city. Tickets are bought at the entrance by cash. Expect to spend anywhere between 15-30 minutes. Within walking distance are some of the other attractions of the city.

The as-Salt Archaeological Museum showcases in an atmospheric Ottoman era heritage building a very attractive selection of artifacts from archaeological sites located in the al-Balqa' district of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

The museum curator and staff are very helpful going the extra mile to make the visit a pleasant affair. The artifacts are very attractive indeed and are presented chronologically from the Stone Age all the way to the Ottoman Period. Among the items displayed, it bears mentioning a 3,500 year old clay tablet from the Jordan Valley written in an indecipherable script.

There are very good informative panels and the showcased items are well labeled. There are two floors (access by stairs only) with a total of 4 galleries.

A visit to as-Salt is not complete without a visit to its archaeological museum. The entry fee is just 2 JOD. It is highly recommended due to its quality, value, friendly staff and central location (walking distance from intercity...

يقع متحف آثار السلط في مركز السلط التجاري الجديد وقد تم تأسيسه عام 1983 م.تنقل بين مبانٍ عدة إلى أن استقر في بيت طوقان التراثي الذي بنته العائلة في الفترة (1900-1915)، ثم قامت بلدية السلط بترميم البيت. وفي عام 2007 أعيد تأهيل المتحف بالتعاون ما بين السفارة الهولندية ودائرة الآثار ومؤسسة إعمار السلط، وقد ساهم عدد من أبناء السلط بتمويل المشروع عن طريق السفارة الهولندية. عُرضت القطع الأثرية المكتشَفة من مواقع التنقيب في منطقة البلقاء في 14 خزانة موزعة على أربع قاعات؛ قاعة "الدولمن"، وقاعة "فترة بناء المدن"، وقاعة "من الحصون إلى القرى"، وقاعة "البيئة الريفية"، كما خُصصت قاعة في الطابق العلوي للنشاطات الطلابية. يتضمن المتحف بالإضافة للقطع الأثرية؛ نماذج لحقل "دولمن" وطاحونة سكّر وحجر مِيلي روماني.

قاعات المتحف عدل ويحتوي المتحف على قاعتين للعرض هما:

القاعة الرئيسية : في هذه القاعة مجموعة من القطع الفخارية التي عثر عليها في موقع تليلات الغسول من العصر الحجري النحاسي (4500-3300 ق.م). وتضم الخزانة المخصصة للعصر البرونزي المبكر (3300 –2200 ق.م) مجموعة من جرار الماء الكبيرة والاسرجة الفخارية ، وقد عثر على معظم هذه القطع في منطقة السلالم، والطوال الشرقي.

•أما خزانتا العصر البرونزي الأوسط والمتأخر (2200-1200 ق.م). فتحتويان في معظمها على صحون فخارية من الحفريات الأثرية في مناطق البقعة وكتارة السمراء.

•وتضم خزانة العصر الحديدي ( 1200-539 ق.م) قطعا فخارية واسرجة من تل دير علا.

•وأما خزانة الفترة البيزنطية (324- 636 م) فتضم عددا كبيرا من القطع الزجاجية ومجموعة من الاسرجة والشمعدنات التي كانت في كنيسة بزينطية في منطقة جلعد.

•وتحتوي الخزانة السابعة على قطع فخارية تعود في تاريخها إلى الفترة الأيوبية المملوكية (1174-1516م) وتضم القاعة الرئيسية أيضا بقايا ولقي أثرية وجدت في منطقة وادي شعيب وفي المقبرة الرومانية ، وهي عبارة عن اساور برونزية وقلائد نحاسية بالإضافة إلى مجموعة من النقود الهلنستية وحتى الفترة الأيوبية.

قاعة العروض الثانية :- وهي اصغر حجما وتعرض فيها مجموعات من القطع الفخارية والزجاجية بأشكال مختلفة مثل الاسرجة والصحون والقوارير المكتشفة في مناطق مختلفة من محافظة البلقاء وتضم هذه القاعة أيضا مجموعة من الصور الفوتوغرافية الكبيرة والصغيرة التي تمثل نماذج من بيوت السلط التراثية وبعض الأحياء...
