The collection of the national gallery of contemporary art includes more than 2,000 exhibits. They include paintings, graphics, sculptures, photographs, installations and ceramics. The museum houses works by over 800 artists from 59 countries, mainly from Asia and Africa.
The museum was founded in 1980 by the Royal Society of Fine Arts, and its official inauguration took place under the patronage of King Hussein I and Queen Nar al-Hussain. The museum building was expanded and renovated according to the design of the Jordanian architect Mohamed al-Assad, who was awarded the Aga Khan award for architecture in 2007.
The museum regularly collaborates with cultural institutions in Paris, London, Geneva and other European cities. The collected collections were also borrowed and exhibited in museums in Great Britain, Turkey, France and Poland.
