Our Place
The Children’s Museum is a unique learning space that offers
children, families and schools interactive learning opportunities
within its beautiful location in the King Hussein Gardens Park.
Registered as a charitable association under Jordanian Law, the
Children’s Museum is one of Her Majesty Queen Rania al Abdullah’s
educational initiatives.
Since opening in 2007, the Children’s Museum has welcomed over
400,000 visitors into its colorful, spacious, modern and interactive
Exhibit Hall, art studio, library, multipurpose hall, outdoor theatre
and supporting facilities that now include a new restaurant and
birthday room.
Our Mission
The Children’s Museum Jordan is dedicated to providing stimulating
experiences that spark curiosity, imagination and love for learning
in children ages 2 – 12, delivered primarily through highly engaging,
exploratory, play-based, interactive exhibits, programs and events
as well as exceptional multimedia resources. The Museum is also
dedicated to positively nurturing children’s sense of identity, civic
knowledge and national pride.
Our Vision
To become a unique and memorable Jordanian “growing up
experience” and to become a national and regional leader in the
field and an exemplary international success story.

Our Inspiration
“The voyage of discovery is as much
ours as it is our children’s.”
HM Queen Rania Al Abdullah
The famous French novelist, Proust, once said, the voyage of discovery is
not in seeking new landscapes but in finding new eyes. The ticket you hold
as you enter Jordan’s Children’s Museum (CMJ) is a pass to this kind of
discovery, where the elation of learning comes from seeing our world in a
new light.
For our children, the museum is a portal: with one step they can leap into
the expanse of space and with the next delve into the wonders of nature.
Through hands-on experiments, they become an engineer for a moment,
grappling with the fundamentals of physics as they play and build their
understanding of gravity. Interactive displays transform our young ones
into scientists then athletes then musicians. Puppetry, singing, and art
classes stir their creativity, inspiring the artist within.
With every viewpoint, every twist and turn through the exhibit hall, auditorium,
and garden, the changing surroundings are vibrant and exciting. The value
of the voyage, though, is not just in the rich number of landscapes, but in
the enriched mindscape our visitors’ experience, simultaneously stoking
their curiosity and embedding a life-long love of learning.
It is our mission to stimulate this blossoming of understanding: instilling
a need to explore the unknown; fulfilling the belief that your imagination
holds no bounds. For at the heart of the museum is the premise that
education is less about teaching a child to know, and more about teaching
a child to think. This principle is a cornerstone for any generation to drive
society forward, because, in short, knowledge is static, thinking dynamic. In
partnership with the Ministry of Education, I am confident we are equipping
our children with the imagination and determination to establish Jordan as
a place of ingenuity and innovation.
The voyage of discovery is as much ours as it is our children’s. In 2009,
we were greatly encouraged by CMJ’s fast-growing popularity, with stats
on visitor and outreach soaring. Our volunteer program has taken off, too,
providing Jordanians with valuable inputs for their careers and outlets for
their civic energy.
HM Queen Rania Al Abdullah playing with children at the Children’s Museum Jordan
It is only together that we can continue to strive for ever-better exhibits,
performances, displays, and projects. Which is why I want to thank all
members of the CMJ family for their support, from the parents and teachers
who proudly parade through the entrance, to the staff and sponsors who
define and finance the museum’s future; your dedication is our most valued
asset.
As a new decade unfolds, I know we can reach more children, put on more
shows, find more donors, and enlist more volunteers. To succeed, we need
your unflagging commitment. We need you to help us keep exposing our
children to new landscapes. That way, they can return to their homes and
schools with new eyes, and a new-found instinct to explore and discover.

Our Story
Dear Friends,
As we write this report, we reflect on the year that has just come to a close
and attempt to ask ourselves some difficult questions. How well have we, at
the Children’s Museum, served our community? Have we increased both the
number and diversity of our visitors? Have we maintained and built on our
reputation of providing truly inspiring, creative and high-quality educational
programs and activities that bring the community – children, families and
schools – together?
With the knowledge that the road before us is long and winding, we’re
happy to report that in 2009, the Children’s Museum reached several notable
milestones. With the strain of the global credit crunch that took grip of the
world and Jordan, as well as the swine flu epidemic and associated anxieties,
we are even more thankful for the positive results we have to share with you.
In 2009, with the unwavering help of our supporters, the Children’s Museum
welcomed more visitors, increased family and corporate memberships and
boosted public access of children from underserved communities. A record
169,610 visitors walked through our doors throughout the year to explore
the Exhibit Hall and take part in the vast variety of programming, activities
and celebrations that took place.
Over the past year, we worked really hard on opening our doors even wider
to the community around us. Believing that as a community we can make
a big difference together, our donors, partners and corporate supporters
enabled us to tap into new parts of the community, increasing public access
through public school visitations, after school enrichment programs for
underserved children and providing discounted or free admission rates to
families. Over 60,742 visitors benefitted from sponsored admission rates or
entered the Museum free of charge in 2009.
More than ever, our work at the Children’s Museum is guided by our belief
that early experiences and learning opportunities can shape a child’s future,
and that one moment of wonder can shape their choices for a lifetime.
This conviction has been reflected in the wide-range of programming,
activities, events and celebrations that the Children’s Museum has brought
to the community this year. The road before us is long, but we’re edging
confidently towards our vision of becoming a national learning space that
engages children, spurs their imagination and sparks their curiosity.
We recognize that it is our supporters who drive our continuous progress and
we are committed to justifying their confidence in the Children’s Museum
by continuing to deliver high-quality learning experiences and effective,
inclusive programming.
A big THANK YOU goes out to our valuable partners, generous donors,
sponsors and dedicated team of staff and volunteers, all of whom continue
to believe in the Children’s Museum’s vision and who work together to
create a better future for all children in Jordan.

Our Story
The Exhibit Experience
Our exciting, action-packed Exhibit Hall continued to draw children
and their families out in their thousands in 2009, and remained
the cornerstone of our interactive, exciting and energetic learning
experiences.
“Our learning philosophy is hinged on allowing
curious children to learn through play, discovery
and exploration. It’s a novel approach, but one that
we can see taking hold among our visitors”
We know that the future awaiting our children is more complicated
and more demanding. Over the past year, we’ve continued to
leverage our exhibits to support school-based learning and to create
transformative early experiences that we strongly believe have a
major impact in the lives of children well beyond their visit to the
Children’s Museum.
We’re very proud of our newest addition to the Exhibit Hall - the
Wonders of the Red Sea Exhibit. Designed to showcase the rich
aquatic life found just off the shores of Aqaba, the exhibit exposes
children to the natural ecosystem around them and encourages its
preservation.
Throughout the year, our Exhibit Hall reflected the changing of
the seasons from spring to summer, autumn to winter, each with
its own characteristic set of themes and the introduction of new
mini exhibits. For our Seaside Adventures theme this summer, a
pirate’s boat found its way into our Exhibit Hall, while in our Winter
Wonderland season, our winter snow area compensated for the lack
of snow outside!
While a record number of visitors explored the Exhibit Hall in 2009,
we recognize that a great many children in Jordan have yet to
experience our exciting exhibits. We are preparing to include more
exciting exhibits into our collection, characterized by increased
interactivity, accessibility and durability. In the meantime, we’ve
worked on maximizing the overall experience within the Exhibit Hall
by animating it with a variety of novel, imaginative and engaging
daily activities.
Another big sign of progress this year has been the overall increase
in the level of independent interaction we’ve noted among children
and their families. Our learning philosophy is hinged on allowing
curious children to learn through play, discovery and exploration.
It’s a novel approach, but one that we can see taking hold among
our visitors and in the required balance that ensures responsible
interactivity whilst preserving the exhibits from unjustified disrepair.

Programs and Events
Overview
Over the last year, the Children’s Museum put together the most
exciting combination of programs, activities and events. Each was
an opportunity for the whole community to come together -children,
families and schools – in a spirit of renewed excitement for learning.
Every program is designed with specific learning objectives in mind,
ranging from scientific aptitude to encouraging creativity, promoting
civic competence, appreciation for cultural diversity as well as
increasing children’s awareness of their bodies and movement.

Special Feature Programs
Throughout the year, a huge number of programs focused on
engaging the whole family in the interactive learning process. This is
because we firmly believe that families need to spend more quality
time together and that parents must be involved in the interaction,
fun and hands-on experiences offered within the Museum. In 2009,
the Children’s Museum featured the popular Hikayat SimSim, which
interacted with children, schools and families through a wide range
of activities that focused on several key learning objectives through
creative, imaginative sessions.

Art in the Children’s Museum
The Children’s Museum continued to be a busy, bustling hub
of creativity over the last year, with a wide-range of activities
that promote children’s expressiveness, creativity, imagination
and confidence. Daily activities within our Art Studio focused on
allowing children to explore their expressive, creative side of their
personalities through a mix of drop-in and participatory sessions,
and especially through our Winter Art Camp. In January, we hosted
our Second Art Exhibition and Competition, showcasing the talent
that was unleashed by our young artists within our Art Studio.

Celebrations
Our Celebrations in 2009 reflected our efforts to bring children,
families and schools together to celebrate what connects us as
Jordanians. Our spectacular performances and events in this
category celebrate the familiar in the most magical ways. Usually
coinciding on national occasions, we especially celebrate Jordan’s
Independence Day, as well as Ramadan, the Eids and Christmas. We
also mark Labor Day by encouraging children to dream about what
they want to be when they grow up and instilling a sense of work
ethic and value in a way that children can engage with. In all, our
Celebrations are designed to inspire national pride among our young
citizens and nurture a sense of community belonging.

cultural diversity around the globe through art, dress, performances,
traditions and food.
Day Camps
The Children’s Museum embraces the characteristics of the seasons
and reflects this through its programming. In 2009, our Seaside
Adventures Summer program lets the spirit of summer shine
through by focusing on the outdoors and on physical activity. Our
Winter Wonderland season focused on the richness of the holiday
season with a range of winter activities and creative art. At the
heart of our summer and winter programs are the Summer of
Wonders and Winter Wonderland Day Camps.

Our Story
Our Working Spirit
Museum Memberships
While the combination of the upkeep of our Exhibit Hall, designing
and delivering high-caliber, engaging programming, events and
activities as well as increasing public access to the Museum is a
huge responsibility, our aspirations to impact the learning lives of
children are even bigger.
Museum memberships at the Children’s Museum
are also on the upside in 2009, especially Family
Memberships and Private School Memberships.
These schemes are designed to increase
affordability and access to the Museum, whilst
ensuring that our members feel they are
getting value-for-money through the use of the
Museum’s resources, daily programs, sessions
and activities affordably.
The backstage efforts of our wonderful staff of dedicated, creative
and inspired individuals are what make it all possible. More and
more, each of our team members embodies the spirit the of the
Children’s Museum – that of bringing engaging learning experiences
through play and delivering their talent within constrained
resources. Their innovation, creativity, imagination and their own
love for play are all reflected in the experiences the Museum offers
the community.
Helping Hands - Our Volunteer Program
As a community-based learning space, the Children’s Museum
depends on the spirit, energy and dedication of young individuals
who volunteer their time and creativity to making a difference in the
lives of children as they grow into learning adults. We’re so proud
of our volunteers program and of the win-win situation it presents.
Volunteers, for their part, have reported that they feel like they’re
part of something special – a community that believes that the
memories children make at a young age shape their future.
Supplemenary Services
In 2009, the Children’s Museum continued to
work on increasing its supplementary revenue
streams through non-educational services
including birthdays, rentals and catering. The
provision of these services also vitally increases
the Museum’s exposure to the public.
Key milestones in 2009 include finalizing our
Restaurant and upgrading our birthday facilities,
both key drivers behind what we hope will be
increased earned revenue in years to come.
Our volunteer program is one of our most successful initiatives,
in both numbers and impact. By the end of 2009, our team of
volunteers swelled to over 250 dedicated individuals who all
recognized their role in helping to create a brighter future for our
children and for us all. At the end of the year, a graduation and
awards ceremony was held to show our appreciation of this special
group of young people.

A Place For Everyone
In 2009, we continued with our efforts, through our programs,
policies and initiatives, to be an inclusive space, dedicated to
serving all children and their families throughout Jordan. Our visitor
statistics and the feel we get from the community around us makes
us believe that this year, we’ve touched the hearts and minds of
more children, their parents, teachers and the wider community
from all backgrounds and from all across Jordan.
A Museum for All: Commitment to
Public Access
Our commitment to raising public access to the
Museum and removing all financial, physical and
other barriers to access manifested itself through
our A Museum for All initiative. This initiative
included our public school visitation program
in coordination with the Ministry of Education,
resulting in over 49,487 public school children
visiting the Museum for free in 2009 .
Additionally, in association with the Ministry of
Social Development, our afterschool enrichment
programs continued to target children from
underserved communities with sessions that
introduce interactive critical learning skills on a
wide range of topics.
We’ve also offered private sector donors,
supporters and corporate sponsors the
opportunity to sponsor group visits of children
and their families who, without such support,
may be unable to visit the Museum.
Through A Museum for All, over 60,742 visitors
visited the Museum at discounted rates or for
free in 2009 alone.
Our commitment to increasing public access to the Children’s
Museum has remained a guiding force in all of our programming,
events, marketing and procedural efforts. Through various initiatives
in 2009, 60,742 children benefitted from sponsored admission fees
or entered the Museum for free.
Our dedication to inclusiveness is evident in the subsidization of our
nominal fees, and in our efforts to price world-class performances
and events at rates that ensure accessibility to the larger
community. We also allot a substantial number of seating and space
for children and families from underserved communities at each of
our events and performances.

Our Reviews
In The Press
The Children’s Museum received a great deal of exposure in local,
regional and international media outlets in 2009, with over 165
mentions.
According to our indicators, our tactical advertising and marketing
efforts positively contributed to increasing visitation traffic to the
Children’s Museum generally and to our specific marketed programs
and events.
A recent national survey found that 34% of those surveyed had
heard of the Children’s Museum, and that a further 38% had visited
the Museum. This gives us a clear starting point for launching our
promotional campaign in 2010, which aims to increase national
awareness of the Children’s Museum, its mission and its philosophy
of interactive, hands-on, play-based learning.

Our Next Steps
One of the most important responsibilities the Children’s Museum has as
a non-profit institution is to decide how our current and future successes
will be defined. As a national learning institution, it’s not just about what
we do, but how much of an impact we have on the lives of children, their
learning process and community engagement.
In the coming years, we’ll measure our success by looking at three key
dimensions: how many children we serve, how well we serve them and
the diversity of the children we serve.
While we are proud of the big steps we’ve taken in 2009, we’re even
more determined to grow, to increase our presence within the Jordanian
community and to provide a solid foundation for our children to regain
a sense of wonder and excitement about learning. Our commitment to
increasing public access to the Children’s Museum and widening our doors
to bigger swathes of the community will continue to one of our primary
strategic goals.
We regard the Exhibit Hall as the cornerstone of the learning experience on
offer, and have major plans for exhibit enhancement in the next few years.
We are also geared up to offering a more ambitious programs and events
calendar for 2010 whilst maintaining the Children’s Museum’s reputation
as a high quality service provider.
We are grateful to our supporters, donors, friends, staff and volunteers for
