Built in tribute to the late King Hussein who was known
for his passion for cars; to him a good car is one that
intuitively understands and communicates the driver's
input.
The museum depicts the history of the kingdom from the
early 1920's to the present, through exhibiting cars
from the era of King Abdullah I, the founder of the
Kingdom, to the era of His Majesty King Abdullah II.
These exhibits recap the development of the Kingdom in
pace with the automotive advancement in the country and
its development through the years.

sport 1955 Mercedes Benz 300SL "Gullwing" that the late
