Madaba Archaeological Park

Recognising the value of investing in historic preservation and knowledge,Jordan has attracted the best modern scholars,and artists,from archaeologists to architects,to assist in the preservation and interpretation of its mosaic treasures.An extensive archaeological park and museum complex has been constructed in Madaba to preserve a number of recently discovered masterpieces.
The park encompasses the remains of several Byzantine churches,including the fantastic mosaics of the Church of the Virgin and the Hippolytus Hall.

Your architects have done a great job of integrating the ancient and the modern, at least to my untrained eye. The extensive window of darkened panes must offer wonderful light while screening out the damaging ultraviolet that could damage precious artifacts. It's a fascinating project.
