Archaeological Museum of Rhodes
Housed in the former Hospital of the Knights of St. John, a substantial medieval building in its own right, this museum holds finds spanning Rhodes's ancient and medieval history, including the well-known Aphrodite of Rhodes statue and material from ancient necropoleis around the island. The building's medieval infirmary hall and courtyard are architecturally significant independent of the collection inside.
It's a moderate-sized museum, giving useful context for the wider ancient and Knights-era history that the Old Town's streets and Palace of the Grand Master don't fully explain on their own.
A visit takes about an hour to ninety minutes.
