For Museums' Night, we're off to discover the Museum of Freemasonry, which is opening its doors to us free of charge this Saturday, May 17, 2025 . This unusual museum lifts the veil on the intriguing history of this organization, initiated in 1778 by Benjamin Franklin. Thousands of documents testify to the role played by lodges in the history of the Republic, particularly in the choice of its values: tolerance, secularism and solidarity.
More than two centuries of history are presented in 400 square meters. Ritual decorations and objects belonging to lodges and masons are on display, as are seals, jewels, medals, manuscripts, engravings and architectural books. Numerous photographs shed light on the daily lives of Freemasons.
