The exhibition introduces the history of one of the world’s oldest and largest secular organizations, as well as its modern goals and the role of fraternity members in Estonian cultural history. Who are these mysterious men with colorful aprons and collars, who are often talked about, but who rarely speak themselves without reason?
Along with the exhibition, a comprehensive catalog will be published, which will provide an overview of the history of Freemasonry, its complex structure and symbolism, and well-known personalities belonging to lodges in Estonia and the rest of the world. Exhibits include Masonic ritual objects, jewelry and aprons from the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, as well as unique archival documents from the collections of the Estonian History Museum.
The exhibition was created in cooperation with the Society of Estonian Freemasons.
