Freemasonry Museum

The Freemasonry Museum is one of a kind. In a city of more than 200 museums in total, it’s very difficult to distinguish just a few that make a difference without wrongfully excluding many that are truly worthy of your time. The next museum was chosen mainly due to its unique theme. a thematic that has always ignited the imagination of people & has fueled tons of fictional stories all around the world up to this day.

The Library & Museum of Freemasonry located in the Freemasons’ Hall Building on Great Queen St., a few blocks away from the Metro Station of Covent Garden, contains an extensive collection of objects with Masonic decoration including pottery and porcelain, glassware, silver, furniture and clocks, jewels and regalia. Items belonging to famous Royal Freemasons including Winston Churchill and Edward VII are on display together with examples from the Museum’s extensive collection of prints and engravings, photographs, and ephemera.

The collection explores the different ranks, offices, and branches of Freemasonry. It explains some of the symbolism used, the charities set up, and masonic dining habits. It also engages with freemasonry outside Britain and the role it played during wartime. There is a large collection of items relating to non-Masonic fraternal societies such as the Oddfellows and the Sons of the Phoenix.

The art deco exterior & awe-inspiring interior have been a background set for countless tv series & films with the latest being the 2009 film Sherlock Holmes. This museum is a unique chance for the visitor to bypass the misty atmosphere surrounding this mysterious cult in the most informative & educational way. More
