About
The Amman Sign Museum (Arabic: متحف آرمات عمان) is a specialized museum in Jordan located in downtown Amman. It displays a collection of vintage commercial signs that were used on the facades of shops, cafes, offices, and hotels over previous decades. Founded in August 2020 by Jordanian artist and calligrapher Ghazi Khattab, the museum aims to preserve the legacy of classical Arabic calligraphy and document part of the city's history and identity. Covering an area of 160 square meters, the museum houses hundreds of signs, the oldest of which dates back to 1949.
