The best museums Petra

The beautiful Petra Archaeological Museum welcomes you in a brand new building inaugurated in 2019, at the entrance of the Visitors' Center. It presents 280 artifacts found on the site and particularly well displayed. The room of statues is a beautiful example. One can admire there a unique bronze of the 2nd century representing the goddess Artemis, but of which unfortunately only the body remains. In addition, the museum presents the archaeological projects in progress in the region, as well as a very well done interactive section on the Bedouins and their way of life.
