The Petra Museum
I am doing a project about the collection of objects in The Petra Museum. People lived in this city 6,500 years ago. The Romans came here 2,000 years ago. Today, there are more than 600 objects in the museum.
In the first room of the museum, there is a collection of statues. These are my favourite statues. They are made of stone. I think they are very beautiful.
There is a collection of pots, too. Theses bottles and bowls are made of clay and they’re very heavy. They are about 2,000 years old. There are jugs made of clay, too. In the past, people used these jugs to carry water. They put olives in jugs, too.
In the third room, there are smaller objects. This is a collection of coins. These coins are small and round, and they’re made of metal.
