Regalia with a function
Aprons, emblems and objects of office are not mere decoration. Read the rank, occasion and dating, and compare two functions within a lodge.
Experiencing the Werkplaats
The temple room makes placement and ritual spatial. Use the audio guide or a guided tour and respect the difference between the museum’s explanation and living practice.
Freedom and Prejudice
The exhibition discusses perceptions of Freemasonry. Separate documented organisational history from conspiracy theory and check which source supports a public claim.
Before you go
Wednesday–Friday 12.00–17.00, weekends from 11.00; Monday and Tuesday closed, last admission 16.00. Not wheelchair accessible. Ring the bell for entry and use your own charged smartphone for the audio guide, and headphones if you wish.
