Established within Bodrum Castle (St. Peter's Castle) in 1964, it has grown into the largest museum of its kind globally, attracting over 300,000 visitors per year. In 1995 it received a special commendation as the European Museum of the Year. After a four-year renovation period from 2017\u20132021, the museum reopened with a refreshed presentation of its collections.<\/p>     <\/div>     <div class=\"panel\">       <h4>The Castle Setting<\/h4>       <p>The museum is housed within St. Peter's Castle \u2014 a 15th-century fortress built by the Knights Hospitaller (Knights of St. John) on a promontory dividing Bodrum Bay. The castle is on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List in its own right. Its towers, halls, and courtyards have been transformed into exhibition galleries, creating one of the world's most dramatically sited museums. The castle covers 3.3 hectares (approximately 8.2 acres) including gardens containing nearly every Mediterranean plant species.<\/p>     <\/div>     <div class=\"panel\">       <h4>Who Runs It<\/h4>       <p>The museum is administered by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism. All exhibitions are supervised by the Institute of Nautical Archaeology (INA) \u2014 an American non-profit organisation with offices in both Bodrum and Texas, USA. This partnership between the Turkish government and an international academic institution has made the museum a globally respected centre for maritime heritage research.<\/p>     <\/div>     <div class=\"panel\">       <h4>Origins of the Collection<\/h4>       <p>The museum's founding story begins with Bodrum's sponge divers, who discovered ancient shipwrecks while diving for sponges in the Aegean. The first scientific underwater excavation in history took place at the Gelidonya site in 1960, led by George Bass (now considered the father of underwater archaeology) and Peter Throckmorton. Their discoveries \u2014 and subsequent campaigns \u2014 led directly to the creation of this museum.<\/p>     <\/div>   <\/div> <\/section>  <!-- \u2550\u2550\u2550 2.
