This place is really neat- like nothing I've ever seen before. The museum is located in the medieval 'Hospital of the Knights' building. The collections include many tombs, Roman sculpture, mosaics, and funerary slabs. The collection is beautiful. It's historically and aesthetically interesting.

The island of Rhodes has a rich history, dating back thousands of years, and when I visited the area on my first visit, I learned about it at the Rhodes Archeological Museum. In addition to the artifacts that date back to the first settlement on the island, the building itself is worth a visit itself, as it was first built as a hospital during the crusades.
