Nice collection (including some of the Dead Sea scrolls); perfect for a rainy (or sweltering hot) day.
A must visit while in Amman. located next to the City Hall, it is one of the best in the Middle East.

Highlights include the oldest-known human statues (the spookily modern 9500-year-old plaster mannequins of Ain Ghazal), Jordan's share of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and a host of remains from Petra and surrounds.
