The private palace where the museum is located is very beautiful, as is the terrace on which you can eat or drink coffee.
But I think I forgot to visit some corners of the museum because it is very complicated to follow, but I wanted to and did not see enough of Picasso’s works, as on display are a few paintings by Picasso and the rest are works of art by other artists.
In any case, the museum is dedicated to Picasso, and most of the exhibits are not by Picasso

Very beautiful but very noisy, silence should be required according to everything in a small building and even a bedroom.
Overall a nice visit even if there was a very large crowd and noise
There are two spaces to see, the most beautiful of course being the one at the top which has wonderful stained glass windows and is truly exceptional.
Fairly quick visit, I advise you to buy your tickets online as you will save a little time.

The Monument to the Rights of Man and of the Citizen is located in Paris, in the Champ-de-Mars gardens, avenue Charles-Risler.
Commissioned by the city of Paris, of which Jacques Chirac was mayor, it was installed in 1989 on the occasion of the bicentenary of the Revolution.
It is the work of architect Michel Jantzen, and sculptor Evan Thimmer.
Inspired by Egyptian mastabas, it includes many references to revolutionary iconography.
The memorial consists of several elements:
- It is built on a square plan, open to an internal space with an octagonal plan, illuminated from above, and its external facades are decorated with engraved texts, various inscriptions, and twelve stones with bronze seals of the countries of the European Community for the year 1989.
- Two obelisks, one with a triangular base, and the other with a square base of bronze, covered with an abundance of symbols and texts containing delicate details and inscriptions, including the Declaration of Human Rights of 1789.
A statue of a man wearing a toga holding several documents in his hands.
- a statue of a man inviting people to read the texts inscribed on obelisks;
- Statue of a woman with her child wearing a hat made of newspapers.

The “Castle Ground Tank” or the Umayyad Pool is an archaeological ground tank dating back to the Umayyad period of rule. It is located in the center of the Jordanian capital, Amman, specifically within the walls of the city's castle, which also contains many Umayyad monuments and other civilizations that came to the city thousands of years ago. It was built in the eighth century AD, specifically in the year 730 AD, in an area adjacent to the Umayyad Palace, to be one of several reservoirs in the castle, but it is the largest in size.
The reservoir was designed to be the main water source for the Umayyad palace. It is about 5 meters deep and 17.5 meters in diameter, and contains more than 1,370 cubic meters of water. Rainwater was fed into the reservoir through an internal channel, collected in other reservoirs, and then returned and poured into the large reservoir, that is, there was a process of water reproduction. There were also channels to extract water from the pond for use, and a small well was discovered on the northern side of the pond, and this well is the same depth as the pond itself. There is also a channel connecting the bottom of the well with the bottom of the pond, so that the water level in the pond is the same as in the well. It is also possible to go down to the bottom of the tank via stairs for the purpose of maintenance. In the middle of the tank is a pole, which is believed to have been used to measure the water level.
So far, there is no information to prove that the pool was covered or not, or any architectural elements that show such a thing, and this area, in order to be roofed, must have supports, columns or arches, so it is likely that the pool was exposed and not cover it. It is noteworthy that the Jordanian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities restored the building in the early nineties of the last century to be in the current form.
