The Jordan Museum ... the storyteller of Jordan The Jordan Museum is located in the dynamic new downtown area of Ras al-‘Ayn. Presenting the history and cultural heritage of Jordan in a series of beautifully designed galleries, The Jordan Museum serves as a comprehensive national centre for learning and knowledge that reflects Jordan’s history and culture and presents in an engaging yet educational way the Kingdom’s historic, antique and heritage property as part of the ongoing story of Jordan’s past, present, and future. This concept is physically represented in the building’s exterior — rough and smooth stones suggest the past and present, glass the future. Through state-of-the-art storage and conservation practices; support of research and publications; exciting permanent and temporary exhibitions; challenging outreach programs; and well-thought-out guest services, The Jordan Museum fulfills a dual role as a repository of knowledge and a centre for education, allowing it to help link Jordan with other cultures, and connecting communities within Jordan for thoughtful dialogues to help meet future challenges
