Rhodes: A Greek island at the gates of the East
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The special importance of the island of Rhodes as a gateway to the East is the theme of an exhibition that is being displayed at the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes.
The exhibition "Rhodes: A Greek island at the gates of the East. 15th-5th century BC" is part of an exhibition put on at the Louvre from November 2014 until February 2015, which included finds from several European museums that originated from excavations on Rhodes.
According to a culture minsitry's announcement, the wealth and the variety of the artifacts, many of them imported from Cyprus, Syria and the Near East but mostly from eastern Greek cities, were indicative of the island's role in transferring elements of the great civilisations of the East to the Greek civilisation. The exhibition will run until November 15.
