The collections are arranged in chronological order and include items of everyday life such as flint, glass, metal and pottery objects, as well as more artistic items such as jewelry and statues. The museum also includes a coin collection.
The museum houses the Ain Ghazal statues, which are among the oldest statues ever made by a human civilization.
