The Jordan Museum in Amman is the country's premier cultural institution, housing the famous Dead Sea Scrolls, the haunting Ain Ghazal plaster statues (among the oldest human figures) and galleries spanning prehistory to the present.
Modern, airy and remarkably well-curated, it is a perfect indoor half-day, especially in summer heat. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan fit it into an Amman day, and full package tours to Jordan include it for context.
