Introduction
In recent years, the newly built Jordan Museum occupies an area of 10,000 square meters, divided into three exhibition halls, showcasing the history and archaeological discoveries of the region for over 1.5 million years, telling "Jordan's story" from the Stone Age, a total of nine themes. This includes environment, food production and processing, visual arts and architecture, cultural exchange and trade, politics and military, communication and writing, industry, religion, and daily family life throughout Jordan. For archaeology enthusiasts, the human gypsum figurines from 7250 BC are a must-see, as they are one of the oldest stone statues discovered in the world, and part of the museum's collection (other pieces are stored in museums in Paris and Dubai). The museum is located next to the city hall, a modern building designed by Jordan's famous avant-garde architect, Ja'far Toukan, and is open to visitors every day.
