Pella Museum

Following the interest to understand the Jordanian landscape, Ammar Khammash Architects has built a private museum owned and funded by the architect.

 

Besides the museum building in Pella, the museum's website is now the largest and most extensive website on geology and paleontology in the Middle East.

 

Pella Museum introduces the public to the wealth of geology and paleontology of Jordan.

 

It is a regional center that addresses ways of understanding the natural heritage of the 

Jordanian landscape.

 

The museum promotes the history of Jordan prior to archeology, from 500 million to 250 thousand years, by bridging the gap between the

academic/scientific works and the wider public.

 

 

 

The museum is located on a hillside overlooking the archeological site of Pella in the northern part of the Jordan Valley, one of the ten Roman cities (the Decapolis).  The building is located at zero sea elevation, with the rest of Jordan rift valley to the west descending to -150 meters below sea level.
