    A beautiful, contemporary art gallery showcasing Jordanian and other Middle Eastern artists. Whilst in Amman for a few days, I made the effort to visit this gallery to get an alternate understanding of this wonderful country through the eyes of its modern artists - definitely worth it!

    Excellent gallery. There are two buildings and a sculpture garden to enjoy. The one building featured artists from around the region and the other had all Jordanian artists. There was a lot of variety stylistically and many cool works. The top floor of the Jordanian building also had a street art and hip hop exhibit which was super cool to see. Overall highly recommended.

    Great museum with international and local artworks, consisting of two opposite buildings, you would need at least 1-2 hrs to see it all. Would be better if they turn the AC on, because we were sweating while having this cultural journey.

    A lovely museum to escape the heat in the afternoons with a lovely selection of mostly local contemporary art spread across 2 floors. The top floor has a lovely little library with a wide catalogue of books to borrow and read on their terrace cafe which offers a nice view of the neighbourhood and the park.

    I'm so proud that we in Jordan have such amazing gallery, it's a national treasure especially with all the exhibitions they host. They have precious permanent collections from artists all around the world, in addition to the exhibitions from Arab and International Artists. Having a gift shop along with a cafe with that wonderful terrace made it my go-to place whenever I feel bored. They have a small library with a study area in building 2, and they have launched a Wijdan Art Space where they hold workshops for all arts. That will be my next visit, hopefully. And that small park between the 2 buildings is what makes me get attached to Amman neighbourhoods even more ❤️

    It’s one of my favorite places in Amman. With two buildings and many art pieces to enjoy. It feels like the suitable place to fill your soul with art and beauty. I have to go there every once and while and have my dose of wonders, though sadly the art pieces doesn’t change very often but it’s my peaceful, heart warming and happy place.

  • 3/5 Gerard S. 2 years ago on Google
    It's alright. The art is pretty middlebrow, and the building itself a bit dated and not very impressive. The one redeeming factor is the cafe at the top which has a nice view of the city, good albeit pricey coffee and some good working spots

    Located in a nice neighborhood with two main buildings and a park. The mix of art and artists is interesting, well presented exhibits and there is a great cafe and roof terrace to relax and enjoy a bit to eat or a good cup of coffee.

    Not a must-see, but definitely worth to go with a good variety of both Jordanian and other middle east contemporary artists. 2 buildings to both sides of the Park. On top, very nice rooftop cafe 😇

  • 5/5 Ayat K. 5 months ago on Google • 57 reviews

    My favorite art gallery in Amman. Walking around and admiring the different art pieces is a wonderful experience. There's a small cafe upstairs too which is nice. And there's a small park near the museum too. Definitely recommend going there!

    (Translated by Google) Its special place in Jabal Al-Weibdeh, there is a small coffee in it, good for work, study or to meet friends, the museum has a variety of paintings and plastic works, follow their activities where what is encouraging every period. (Original) مكانه مميز في جبل اللويبدة، يوجد قهوة صغيرة فيه، جيدة للعمل أو الدراسة أو للقاء الأصدقاء، يوجد في المتحف تشكيلة منوعة من اللوحات والاعمال التشكيلية، تابعوا نشاطاتهم يكون فيها ما هو مشجع كل فترة.

    Beautiful building with a wonderful collection of paintings and sculptures, the rooftop café has a library and is an absolutely welcoming atmosphere. I can't recommend it more!

  • 5/5 Deema T. 8 months ago on Google
    Very well maintained art gallery with simple entry fees, and on some days it’s free. Very nice for thought provoking hangouts and walking around the museum while checking the artworks and photography on display. There is a new art space with workshops and art supplies. Make sure you check what’s on display in both buildings in front of each other with the park in between. The view from jungle fever (the rooftop cafe) is spectacular.

  • 4/5 Zeena J. 8 months ago on Google
    A lot of the paintings are not changed since a long time now… it would be nice to see some variety and change from time to time! Nevertheless the building is a beautiful space and there is a cute cafe with a terrace on the last floor…

  • 5/5 Salam T. 5 years ago on Google
    Great gallery with small caffe in there

  • 4/5 Erin U. 4 years ago on Google
    This was a lovely experience. The exhibits are stunning. The building itself is in a quiet location adjacent to a small park. The museum has a cafe for you to enjoy coffee while you read some books they keep on hand... I just want one more floor! It's very small. There's not much on the first floor and half of the third, top floor for exhibits is set aside for the gift shop and cafe. All the same, I'd definitely go back and recommend that any art lover go. The collection highlights artists from the Middle East, North Africa, and even from India, Indonesia, and Bangladesh. I probably would never known about these artists if I hadn't visited this museum.

  • 5/5 Jennifer B. 4 years ago on Google
    This art gallery is exceptionally beautiful with artists that are a bit more modern. You’ll see things from 1980s to present day from artists in unique countries, such as Pakistan, Iran, Malaysia, Japan etc. They have a unique collection of Jordanian artists and both English and Arabic translations of all the works. I’d recommend checking it out! They have two galleries across from each other. One is the Asian art and the other is the local art. Today I was able to go in for free, because they are still working on the displays.
