Archaeological excavations never stop in the territory of Amman. You can see the precious findings and discoveries of scientists in Archaeological Museum. There is Jordanian Folklore Museum just next to the amphitheater. The beautiful mansion exhibits an interesting collection of national costumes, household utensils, musical instruments and crafts. The interior of the building is decorated in strict following of all the traditions of past centuries. Jordanian Museum of Popular Traditions is just a few steps away. The main exhibits of the museum are priceless jewelry and costumes, the age of many of which is more than one hundred years.
If the abovementioned Roman amphitheater can accommodate up to six thousand visitors, the Odeon is designed for 600 visitors only. This amphitheater is in perfect condition and remains a constant venue for music concerts. Art lovers will be interested in visiting Gallery of Fine Arts. In numerous halls of the gallery you will find rich collections of ceramics, paintings and sculptures. The majority of the exhibits presented here are the works of contemporary artists of Jordan and the neighboring Muslim countries. Young curious travellers will be more interested in visiting Children’s Museum. Here little visitors can attend interesting excursions and lectures.
