The Belgian Museum of Freemasonry corresponds to a desire for openness from an association that wants to be discreet.

The museum displays works of art, decorations, jewelry, tableware, documents and books dating from the 18th century to the present day which bear witness to the historical development, functioning, ideas and structures of Freemasonry. 1st and 2nd of October 2020 Nocturnal classical music concerts by BNO Doors: 6 pm – 10 pm Start concert 7.30 pm – End 8.30 pm An ensemble of musicians of the prestigious Belgian National Orchestra perform a selection of pieces written by Freemasonry composers. Tickets and info: https://www.nationalorchestra.be/en/calendar/belgian-national-orchestra-belgian-museum-freemasonry Programme: It is not surprising that ideas like fraternity, open mindedness and respect for human dignity – the core ideas of freemasonry – spoke to many classical composers. The freemason composer par excellence is of course Wolfang Amadeus Mozart, but also Johann Sebastian Bach, Josef Haydn and many others composed works which, openly or hidden, refer to the lodge. Wishing to bring this intimate connection to light to a large audience, the museum starts up a partnership with the Belgian National Orchestra in which the research and preservation of this musical heritage goes hand in hand with a contemporary execution. During the concerts, you will be able to move around freely and discover the Belgian Museum of Freemasonry, located in the magnificent Hôtel Dewez.
