    A genuine, hard-worked-on and wide ranging collection of mainly traditional Jordanian and Palestinian embroidery and traditional dressing-up paraphernalia, depicting and representing the typical key embroidery patterns for the different regions/ towns in the area. It also covers the ancient dressing code for all occasions. This is in fact a valuble cultural and historical museum for mainly Palestinian and Jordanian culture. The collections took Widad a lifetime of collecting, search, research, spending and hard work to aquire, document and present to this as well as future generations.

    I'm a big embroidery fan and there were lots of great explanations and beautiful samples. The English signs made every thing easy for me. It's fairly small but I spent a happy hour here then bought a rare embroidery book in the shop.

    Beautiful and fascinating display of traditional Palestinian embroidery and weaving. Conveys a powerful image of the culture. Worth a visit even if embroidery isn't 'your thing.'

    Ein bezaubernder Tipp für eine Exkursion in die Geschichte der Textilkunst! Klein, aber sehr fein-unsere Museumsbegleitung beeindruckte nicht nur durch ihr Fachwissen sondern auch durch ihre freundlichkeit und Geduld, mit der sie unsere Fragen beantwortet hat! Ich komme sehr gerne wieder!!

    I was expertly guided around the exhibition by Ruba Al-Thaher who was very knowledgeable and informative. If you are interested in textiles and jewellery this place is an absolute treasure. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
