The remains of Neanderthasers and Ancient Homo Sapiens were discovered in the Jordanian Valley. This suggests that life on the Jordanian land began for a very long time - about 24,000 years ago. You just think about these numbers! Everything that managed to get as a result of archaeological excavations is kept in several museums in the capital of Jordan - Amman. What are the good Amman museums, so this is their price and that there is absolutely without any problems and surcharge to take pictures.
One of the most interesting museums, with cognitive exposition - Jordanian Archaeological Museum . All antiquities, all finds found in Jordan, are collected here. The museum is located next to Citadel and the ruins of ancient Amman. The museum building is so superb in the terrain that you literally fall over in time. Ancient coins, statues, jewelry, sculptures, tools of labor - all this is at the distance of an elongated hand and only thin glass separates you from antiquity. The museum works daily, except Sunday. On public holidays, the working day is abbreviated. Input 1 dinar.
Not far is the Museum of Modern Arab Art Darat al-Funun - Next to the ruins of the Byzantine Church. The workshops are located here, pictures of various modern artists and sculptors are represented not only by Jordan, but also other Muslim countries, a library and theater, on the stage of which various evenings of music and poetry are arranged in the scene. The museum works daily, except Friday. The entrance is about 1 dinar.
In the center of Amman, in the eastern part of the amphitheater is located Jordanian Museum of Folk Traditions . Here in the spotlight - His Majesty is a national costume. The museum has several rooms in which the evolution of Jordanian and Palestinian costume is presented. Here you can see both female and men's outfits, both festive (wedding dresses) and casual clothes. In one of the halls you can see traditional decorations and various things of ancient fashionistas (mirror, calculus, hairpins), kitchen utensils, as well as a collection of ancient mosaics. The museum is open daily. Input 1 dinar.
Collectors will be interested to visit Museum of Numismatics which is located in the building of the Central Bank of Jordan. Well, where can he still be located? A large collection from the Nabatoe state is collected here (by all known Peter) to modern coins and banknotes. The exposition also includes Palestinian, Byzantine and Roman coins from various materials and a different form. This is the only museum in which it is not allowed to photograph. The museum works on weekdays. The entrance is free.
Well, just impossible not to visit Royal Car Museum . Here you can see the history of the country, starting in 1920, through the prism of cars and motorcycles. This is a fleet of the royal family. All these cars are not just exhibits, they served, drove, pleased the eyes of several generations of Jordan's monarchs. The museum has an extensive video and a large number of photographs, among which there are several rather rare photographs. Work time daily, except Tuesday. Input 3 dinar.
There is a boring museum that the museum is boring, but it is definitely impossible to say about the Amman Museums. Jordanians are very proud of their history, try to preserve their traditions and are very careful about them. I got the impression that there are no shop in their museums and everything that they have, all this is on the universal search in open access. In general, Amman is an open-air museum. Old city literally stuffed with antiquities. I met only a few people who did not like Amman. But most of him are delighted.
