Jordan's National Gallery of Fine Arts in Amman hosts a superb collection of paintings, print, sculptures, photographs, installations and ceramics by contemporary Jordanian and international artists. It aims to encourage cultural diversity, increase artistic knowledge and promote art from the Islamic and developing worlds.
Since it was founded by the Royal Society of Fine Arts in 1979, the gallery has greatly expanded and it now boasts around 2000 pieces of work by more than 800 artists from a number of countries. Lectures, seminars, workshops and other activities such as concerts and poetry readings are also held here.
