THE PROJECT
The International Museum of Freemasonry (IMFM) is a unique project in the world, rooted in a historical location.
It will be the first museum independent of any Masonic organization.
Its mission is to present Freemasonry from its origins to the present day, as it exists around the world and through its various organizations.
It is officially registered in France as a non-profit association, under the 1901 law.
The museum will showcase its collections and develop its activities in a building with a very long history that began with the founding of the city.
The bastide of Castillonnès was created in the medieval period in a region that had experienced Gallic and then Gallo-Roman presence.
In 1805, a Masonic lodge was established there and remained active for several decades, marking this place with its history.
A historic place
The collections will showcase Freemasonry around the world, its diversity of expression, its commonalities, as well as specific themes unique to the museum.
Spaces will be allocated to international Masonic organizations that will be able to present the characteristics of this tradition in their country.
