The Museum of Parliamentary Life is located in the old parliament building in Jabal Amman, near the first roundabout, at the corner of the Islamic Sciences College and Khalil Mutran Street.
The building was used for meetings of the Legislative Council in the early 1940s and later for the National Assembly from 1947 to 1978. It was here that the martyr King Abdullah I bin Al-Hussein declared the independence of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on May 25, 1946. It was also the location where King Talal bin Abdullah and King Hussein bin Talal took their oaths of office.
The museum consists of three parts: the middle part containing the parliament hall, the right wing, which houses exhibition halls that narrate the story of parliamentary life, and the left wing, which contains the offices of the head of parliament, the speaker of the Senate, and the Protocol Hall.
