Tarawneh inaugurates Wasfi and Saadia Al Tal Museum

AMMAN — Royal Court Chief Fayez Tarawneh inaugurated the Wasfi and Saadia Al Tal Museum on Tuesday in the presence of a number of senior officials and colleagues of the late prime minister.

The opening coincided with the anniversary of the formation of Tal’s first government (January 28, 1962).

It will be open for visitors all year round, according to Amman Mayor Aqel Biltaji, who thanked the Royal Court for its support to the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) to complete the project.

He said that Saadia, Wasfi’s wife, passed away in 1997 and establishing the museum was one of her wishes.

The house was built in 1951 on the Amman-Salt road in Kamalieh, on a three-dunum area  surrounded by olive, oak, pine and elm trees.
