A very important museum with fabulous exhibits ranging from Neolithic to Umayyad periods. It’s an old museum well in need of investment and renovation but it’s art artefacts are top. Although it is a relatively small building, the museum is rich of so many artifacts from all historical epochs of human settlement in the area. They have artefacts, skeletons, pottery , statues organized in sections such as bronze age, iron age, stone age and so on. No entry fee needed. If you have entered Amman citadel, it's in the same campus. If you get tired watching, you have seats to sit down and relax. Nicely presented history of the Jordan. The exhibits are great. A lot of information in a small space.

The museum houses artefacts from different archaeological sites of the country, from the Paleolithic to the Islamic Era. The collection is arranged in chronological order and includes pottery, glass, flint and metal tools, inscriptions and statuaries, jewellery and coin collections. The highlights to see are: Statues from Ain Ghazal, among the earliest known large-scale human figures, dated to approximately 8700 - 8500 years ago; Neolithic plastered skulls from Jericho; huge anthropomorphic sarcophagus from the Iron Age found in Amman; the Nabataean fish-goddess from the temple of Khirbet et-Tannur, and the Tyche of Amman, the white marble bust of the protector of Roman Philadelphia.

The Jordan Archaeological Museum showcases in the first purpose-built museum building in Jordan (est. 1951) a very attractive selection of artifacts from archaeological sites all over the Hashemite Kingdom and Palestine.

The exhibited artifacts are very attractive and are presented chronologically starting from the Stone Age all the way to the Late Islamic Period. Among the items displayed, it bears mentioning the Balaam inscription from the Jordan Valley written in ancient Aramaic script as well as a wide selection of Ammonite sculptures and artefacts. The Nabataean sculptural art from Petra and Khirbat at-Tannur is well represented. Roman ossuaries from Jerusalem (Palestine) and relics from Umayyad Jericho (also in Palestine) are also noteworthy.

There are good informative panels. However,  the showcased items would greatly benefit from more comprehensive labelling and better lighting.

A visit to the Citadel is not complete without a visit to its archaeological museum and it is highly...

Absolutely brilliant museum, particularly in connection with the PPNB and Chalcolithic periods. A lovely overview of Jordanian and Palestinian archaeology from pre-history to Ayyubid periods.

It's laid out very logically, and the signage is hugely informative. There's what you would expect to see - Ein Ghazal figures, bronze age pottery, Roman glass -and also some unexpected goodies: stonework from Hisham's Palace in Jericho, zoomorphic figurines and pourers, some impressive bronze lamps and a superb statue of Daedalus, alongside a stunning head of Tiche. A real gem, especially for those interested in archaeology, but something of value even for the more general observer. I personally preferred this to the more modern Jordan Museum, because of the richness of the material and it's...

يقع المتحف الأثري الأردني في عمان في القلعة. يعود تاريخ بنائه إلى عام 1951 ويضم مجموعات من المواقع الأثرية الأردنية بما في ذلك التماثيل والمجوهرات والعملات المعدنية. لقد كنا هناك منذ عدة سنوات ووجدنا أنها مثيرة للاهتمام أيضًا لأننا نحب زيارة المتاحف. المتحف صغير مقارنة بكمية المعروضات (بعضها مثير للاهتمام وثمين للغاية) ولكن بشكل عام محدد جيدًا. يمكن أن تظهر حالات العرض وحالات العرض مؤشرات أفضل ؛ لا توجد دائرة حقيقية أو جولة موصى بها ، يمكن للإدارة تحسين التجربة من خلال تعيين مرشدين أو ربما الطلاب للحصول على تفسيرات. بشكل عام ، متحف صغير ومثير للاهتمام ولكنه قديم من الناحية المفاهيمية. لا يزال يستحق الزيارة.متحف الآثار الأردني ، عمان ، الأردن ، ومميزاته

يعد متحف الآثار الأردني في عمان في دولة الأردن العربية من أشهر المعالم والمعالم الثقافية التي تعرض تاريخ الأردن منذ بداية الوجود البشري حتى أواخر العصور الإسلامية في المملكة الأردنية الهاشمية.

يقع متحف الآثار الأردني في عمان مقابل جبل القلعة وتبلغ مساحته الإجمالية حوالي 550 مترًا مربعًا ، لذا فهو يعتبر اليوم من أجمل الأماكن السياحية في عمان وكل الأردن.

تم الانتهاء من إنشاء متحف الآثار الأردني في عمان وافتتح رسمياً في أواخر عام 1951 م بعد تصميمه من قبل المهندس البريطاني أوستن هاريسون الذي صمم مبنى المتحف الفلسطيني في القدس ، حيث كان الغرض منه الحفاظ على مقتنيات وأثار أهم المواقع الأثرية في الأردن. اليوم هي واحدة من أكبر الوجهات السياحية في الأردن متحف الآثار الأردني هو متحف أردني بني عام 1951. يقع على قمة جبل القلعة وسط عمّان، ويضم مجاميع القطع الأثرية الواردة للمتحف من الحفريات الأثرية التي أجريت في مختلف مواقع الأردن. ولقد رتبت المجاميع ترتيبا زمنياً متسلسلاً من العصر الحجري القديم وبالتدريج حتى العصور الإسلامية تم تصوير المتحف بتقنية 360 درجة من خلال شركة الأسواق الحقيقة للتصوير الثلاثي الابعاد المتحف صغير مقارنة بكمية المعروضات (بعضها مثير للاهتمام وثمين للغاية) ولكن بشكل عام محدد جيدًا. يمكن أن تظهر حالات العرض وحالات العرض مؤشرات أفضل ؛ لا توجد دائرة حقيقية أو جولة موصى بها ، يمكن للإدارة تحسين التجربة من خلال تعيين مرشدين أو ربما الطلاب للحصول على تفسيرات. بشكل عام ، متحف صغير ومثير للاهتمام ولكنه قديم من الناحية المفاهيمية. لا يزال يستحق الزيارة.بُني متحف الآثار الأردني عام ١٩٥١ في مجمع قلعة عمان. يعرض المتحف آثاراً من مواقع أثرية من أنحاء مختلفة من المملكة. وتشمل معروضاته أدوات وأواني فخارية وزجاجية وقطع نقدية ومجوهرات وأدوات معدنية وصوانية ونقوش...
