The National Children’s Museum of Jordan has opened in Amman – the capital city of Jordan – in the Middle East.
The museum comprises a 4,400sq m (47,360 sq ft) interactive garden, as well as a 2,600sq m (27,986sq ft) internal exhibit area featuring 150 interactive displays based on the themes of Humankind, Technology and the Natural World.
