Originating in 18th-century England, Freemasonry is now present across the globe. This museum is the only one in the world to present this fraternity as it exists in different countries.

Sometimes called 'Obediences' or 'Grand Lodges,' these organizations each have their own histories and sometimes unique rituals. For the first time, these organizations will have the opportunity to introduce themselves to the public while supporting the museum.

Freemasonry manifests itself in various ways, and its rituals are the fundamental elements. Although the essential elements remain the same, each ritual has its own characteristics. This is the case, for example, with regalia such as aprons and collars. This diversity will be presented in all its artistic and cultural richness.

In this fraternity, banquets have always been a ritual, fraternal, and Epicurean element. Masonic symbols have naturally been associated with culinary decorations such as glasses, plates, utensils, napkins, etc. This art will be presented both in the collections and in the shop.

Whether it's commemorative medals, ritual decorations, seals, or simply pins, these objects reflect the creativity of Masonic symbolism. Some countries, such as the United States, are highly creative at both the individual and group levels. This is what the museum will showcase.

Arguably the most characteristic element of Freemasonry is the apron. There are countless variations by era, country, organizations, and rituals. The museum will present many informative examples.
