I loved this gallery. It's off the main street, get a taxi to it then wander around the 3 floors. I had a coffee in the cafe and relaxed. The art work is fabulous and contemporary. more »

Love it! Well displayed and presented , despite it didn't have an extensive collection! Love also the little cosy coffee with an amazing top view Amman! The mini-shop is also really nice with handcraft-souvenirs!
-
2 buildings and the public park between them. Main building is mostly contemporary art, some of it quite cool. Other building seems to be for exhibitions. €5 entrance fee not covered by Jordan pass makes it expensive. Cafe space is expensive but a bit cool.
-
Worth a visit if you are into contemporary art. The artworks are mainly from artist from Jordan and around. Anyhow, there weren't too many artworks I enjoyed in particular. Moreover, the whole arrangement lacks some "love", especially I was confused by one floor that had lights switched off so you could not see the artworks too well. Entrance fee is 5 JD.
-
It's two building on opposite sides of a nice small park. Both buildings are dull of really interesting art work. Well set up. Just a bit pricey at 5JD.
-
Excellent and lovely Art Gallery, beautiful artwork and the staff is very helpful. The garden between the two buildings belongs also to the National Gallery of Fine Arts. I recommend a visit
