The museum was opened for the public two years ago with free entry, he said. “Only then I knew that the collected signs are valuable not only for me, but also for the public,” he added. He noted that visitors to his office were impressed by the calligraphy and the art employed in making the old signs. “I started collecting signs since 1985, I had all the collected signs displayed at my office,” Khattab said. He further noted how these street signs also unfold the harmony that exists in Amman, noting how Armenians were of the most remarkable calligraphers who ever decorated Amman’s streets with signs that are “works of art”. Some of the signs showcased at the museum were brought from Palestine, while others in the collection come from Syria, Lebanon and Iraq, he explained. Khattab said that the signs tell stories of Amman, about how it was, and always will be a “safe spot” for all Arab nationals. The oldest sign at the museum, by an Armenian calligrapher, can be traced back to 1949. Visitors are shocked to see their names or their grandparents’ names written on signs at the museum they feel both nostalgic and proud that their heritage is preserved in a museum. “Visiting the museum unfolds memories for a lot of visitors,” Khattab said. According to Khattab, this major has never been offered at universities here in Jordan. Khattab’s passion for Arabic calligraphy began at a young age and he pursued the “art of making billboards” by travelling to Germany to study for three years. “Street signs tell a lot of stories about the history, heritage and habitants of Amman,” calligraphy enthusiast and founder of the museum Ghazi Khattab told The Jordan Times.
AMMAN - Stretching over 160 square metres in downtown Amman, the Old Signs of Amman Museum is home to over 1000 street signs and gives visitors an opportunity to travel over 70 years back in time.
