The Dead Sea Museum (Arabic: متحف البحر الميت) is a history and natural history museum located in the Maeen subdistrict, Jordan. The museum is dedicated to showing the history of the Dead Sea and how civilizations developed around it.[1]

History

Among the intentions for the creation was to promote tourism, and to facilitate the public to learn more about how the Dead Sea is constituted.[2] The museum aims to raise awareness about the conservation of the Dead Sea.[3] The construction of the museum was funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency.[4] The museum first opened in 2006,[5] and is Jordan's first natural history museum.[6] In 2015, for International Museum Day, educational activities for students from the South Jordan Valley were organized in this place.[3]

Collections

The museum contains collections of rocks and minerals[5] The museum exhibits are divided into four sections[7]

  • First section: The geology of the Dead Sea, as well as its formation.
  • Second section: The study of the Dead Sea ecosystem.
  • Third section: The human impact on the Dead Sea as well as the benefits that the existence of this sea has brought to the civilizations of the Middle East.
  • Fourth section: The initiatives of protection and preservation of the Dead Sea as well as the identification of what are the ecological threats to the sea.
