"The Foundation for the Development of the Lands Adjacent to the Baptism Site has unveiled seven shortlisted concept designs for the new Museum of Jesus' Baptism at Bethany, Jordan. The proposals, now available in an online gallery, were developed by internationally recognized multidisciplinary teams led by AAU Anastas, heneghan peng architects, Níall McLaughlin Architects, Studio Anne Holtrop, Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO, Toshiko Mori Architect, and Trahan Architects."
"Managed by Malcolm Reading Consultants, the invited competition seeks an architect-led multidisciplinary team to design a museum and garden that responds to the sacred character of the site. The project is planned to open in 2030, marking the bimillennial of Christ's baptism, and aims to create a space of reflection, learning, and cultural exchange. The museum will form the cornerstone of the Baptism Development Zone master plan, anticipated to attract up to 450,000 visitors annually."

The museum will anchor the Baptism Development Zone, projected to attract up to 450,000 visitors annually. The initiative is supported by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan under King Abdullah II's patronage, partially funded by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and will be developed in coordination with UNESCO and local communities. An AAU Anastas concept emphasizes a basalt-built continuous stone path that engages local environmental conditions.
