Unlike folklore museums in other islands, the Decorative Arts Collection of Rhodes does not just attempt to represent a local household, but is an expression of the local residents’ folk aesthetics.
The exhibition, housed in the Armoury, which dates to the Knights Hospitaller period, includes wood carvings, chests and other traditional furniture, embroideries, pottery, metal objects, examples of the so-called Lindian ware and traditional costumes from all over the Dodecanese.
The exhibits cover a period of four centuries (mid-16th to 20th century) and shed light into the activities of the Dodecanesians and their relationship to the Aegean and the wider Mediterranean region. All items are displayed in specially designed sections of the hall, recreating the interior layout of Dodecanesian households during the Ottoman rule.
