[26] Additionally, the Jordanian military has acquired various other assets, including wheeled and tracked tank destroyers, artillery pieces, infantry fighting vehicles, and rocket launchers.

The museum features a wide range of exhibits that encompass various time periods and conflicts, dividing its display halls into sections that guide visitors through different military histories.

At the center of the building sits a glass dome from which a Cobra attack helicopter is suspended, representing the transition from Jordan's ancient heritage to the future.

[37] Various materials were used in the design of the museum during its construction, including a metal structure, woodwork, acoustic insulation, glass, and fiberglass-reinforced concrete.

[38] Additionally, solar panels are installed to generate clean electrical energy, and special energy-saving lighting systems based on LED technology illuminate the interior of the museum.

[39] The architectural design was crafted by the Jordanian firm Zaid Dawood Architects, which also created all multimedia works and graphics within the museum.

[41][42] The exhibition halls are divided into 14 different sections, both temporally and spatially, featuring sound effects, soldier mannequins, and display screens to enhance the visitor experience.

It also encompasses the museum library, a research center and archive, a lecture hall, and a platform for distinguished visitors overlooking the outdoor track designated for military demonstrations involving tanks and armored vehicles.

The collection features a three-dimensional panorama depicting the events of the Arab Revolt in the South Jordan Theater, alongside a rare Rolls-Royce Limited military car used by Prince Faisal.

These Soviet tanks are part of a three-dimensional scene depicting key battles in Stalingrad and Berlin, providing visitors with an immersive experience of the war's major turning points.

The exhibit includes a bisected Jordanian M48 Patton tank, allowing visitors to observe its interior, which contains the remains of soldiers and ammunition that were originally housed within.

This includes reconnaissance vehicles, tanks equipped with anti-aircraft weapons, motorized infantry units designed to neutralize enemy strongholds, and support guns used to facilitate breakthroughs.
