Arab Heritage Museum

In the year 1992, the Exhibition of Arab Heritage and Recent Discoveries was opened for the common public. The motive of Arab Heritage Museum was simple – educating the Jordanian population about the Arab cultures, and the Department of Antiquities was the main source of help in this cause. From pottery and gold coins to weapons and glass, the Arab Heritage Museum houses it all, with the Silver Ptolemaic Hoard from Iraq-al-Amir being the key attraction. The early Byzantine and Islamic mosaics as well as the architectural remains of some old temples are found at Arab Heritage Museum, and you can also find the limestone head of the water nymphs that were recently discovered at Amman. The exhibits are transferred to other museums of Jordan and the change of display is annual.
