Egyptian Room, Royal Arch Masonic Temple
Egyptian Room, Royal Arch Masonic Temple, Historic Masonic meeting room in Petersham, Sydney, Australia
The Egyptian Room features a detailed frieze reproducing illustrations from the Papyrus of Ani, decorated with low relief plaster and authentic colors throughout the space.
Originally constructed in 1927 at College Street in Sydney, this ceremonial room was carefully dismantled in 1969 and reconstructed at New Canterbury Road in 1977.
The room displays a comprehensive narrative of ancient Egyptian funeral rites, including the weighing of hearts ceremony presided by the god Anubis.
Located at 23-35 New Canterbury Road in Petersham, this heritage-listed site serves as an active meeting space for Masonic Lodge members.
Gold leaf detailing enhances the Egyptian-inspired decorations, creating a memorial chamber of exceptional scale within Australian Masonic architecture.
