The Municipal Art Gallery of
Rhodes is the first building one finds on its right
handside, after entering the Medieval City through the
Freedom Gate.
The Gallery hosts one of the most significant and most
representative collections of Greek painting and
engraving of the 20th century. It includes the work of
those Greek artists that formed the modern Greek
painting, such as G. Bouzianis, F. Kontoglou,
Theofilos, N. Hatzikyriakos-Gikas, Spyropoulos, K.
Maleas, artists who have worked both in Greece and
abroad. The collection of their work is undoubtedly
interesting and valuable for the scholar of Modern Greek
painting.
The Gallery is visited not only by the local people but
also by many visitors and tourists of the island. Today
the Gallery hosts 690 exhibits but only 90 are available
to the public disposal. The paintings exhibited are
changed in regular intervals.
The organisation of specific exhibitions and other
artistic events in various buildings of the Medieval town
is also among the activities of the Municipal Art
Gallery.
