The Archaeological Museum is located in the Old Town section of Rhodes Town. It is housed in the Medieval building of the Hospital of the Knights, in the Palace of the Grand Master. The construction of this building began in 1440 by Grand Master de Lastic and it was completed in 1489 by Grand Master d'Aubusson. The building was renovated in the early 20th century by the Italians, as was the rest of the Medieval Town of Rhodes.

The Exhibition
One of the most notable exhibits of the Museum is the Marble Statue of Aphrodite Bathing, dating to the 1st century BC. This stunning piece of art depicts the Greek Goddess with elegance and poise, with every detail meticulously designed. An impressive collection of ancient coins is also on display, offering a unique glimpse into the trade and economy of the island during antiquity. Finally, visitors can also see marble reliefs from the Temple of Apollo that depict scenes from Greek Mythology and the marble head of Helios, a great example of Hellenistic baroque.
