The Jordan Archaeological Museum was established in 1951 hosting Jordan's most important archaeological findings.
However, the old site became too small and the idea of developing a new modern museum emerged in 2005.
A joint committee headed by Queen Rania, became responsible for developing the idea of a new modern museum by international standards.
Construction started in 2009 and the museum was officially opened in 2014, spanning over 10,000 square meters.
