Main Building
Built in the 1920s, the main three storey building of the complex served until 1938 as the official residence of the British Commander of the Arab Legion, Colonel F. G. Peake. Afterward it became a club for the British Officers until the Arabization of the Arab Legion in 1956 and the departure of Glubb Pasha. The house has been renovated in its original form in 1992 by architect Ammar Khammash.
HIWAR - Conversations in Amman is an exhibition, residencies, and talks program organized by Darat al Funun to celebrate 25 years of support for the arts. HIWAR brought 14 artists from the Arab world, Africa, Asia, and Latin America to Amman for residencies in September and October 2013, culminating in an exhibition in dialogue with works from The Khalid Shoman Collection.
