The Aquarium of Rhodes was established in 1934 at the initiative of Mario Lago during the Italian occupation of the Dodecanese. It was originally a research centre called Reale Istituto di Ricerche Biologiche di Rodi. It began operations in 1937, studying hydrobiology, the sponges, and the fisheries of the Aegean Sea.

It is in an Art-Deco edifice designed by Armando Bernabiti. The marine environment inspired the ornaments on the façade. Inside the building, a corridor resembling an underwater sea cave is ornate with natural seashells, which enhance the environment, enriching the experience.
