Museum of Popular Traditions

This small museum, immediately to the left as you enter the Roman Theatre, has well-presented displays of traditional costumes, jewellery and face masks, along with mannequins dressed in the traditional costumes of Jordan's different ethnic groups. A separate gallery displays mosaics from Jerash and Madaba.
