Seeing the ancient Roman ruins of Jerash Archaeological Site is an impressive enough experience in itself, but to really grasp the history of this incredible place, visit the Jerash Archaeological Museum, located on site. The museum has a long history of its own, although certainly nowhere near as long as the history of the Jerash Archaeological Site. It was set up in 1923 and was originally set within the Artemis Temple, one of the ruins on the site. Visit today, however, and you will find that it has moved to a building of its own in order to accommodate its expanding collection. Although the first exhibition ever held in this new location was called Jordan Through the Ages, the museum’s mission is now more local and its exhibits focus only on the Jerash area. Wander the museum’s galleries and discover archaeological artifacts dating back as early as the Neolithic period. See everything from coins, jewelry and precious stones to altars, mosaics and statues. Some of the objects on display have survived for many thousands of years. Step into the lovely garden to see statues and sarcophagi alongside examples of ancient Greek and Latin monumental inscriptions. As you explore the museum, you will build up a picture of what the Jerash Archaeological Site might have been like close to 2,000 years ago, when it was at its economic peak. This once-prosperous town was once a key strategic location for the Roman Empire. Exit the museum and walk among its ruins, with a new understanding of its history and significance. Visit all of the other attractions located on the site in order to fully get to know this historic place. Nearby you will find ruins such as the Hippodrome, Hadrian’s Arch and the Nymphaeum. Jerash Archaeological Museum is open through the year, but opening hours are seasonal, so do check ahead. Pay the admission fee for Jerash Archaeological Site and you can visit the museum, as well as all the other spectacular ruins on site, without any additional charges. ### Popular places to visit ![Hadrian\'s Arch featuring heritage architecture as well as a small group of people](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6101898/50225970-9e21-4d2e-a885-36975a394b35.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Hadrian's Arch Dating from the 2nd century, this grand, well-preserved relic of the Roman era is one of the city’s must-see historic sites.
