Belgisch Museum van de Vrijmetselarij, Masonic museum in Dewez House, Brussels, Belgium
The Belgian Museum of Freemasonry is housed in a late 18th-century neoclassical building and displays a collection of medals, badges, records, ribbons, and documents. These objects tell the story of how this worldwide brotherhood developed and organized itself over time.
The museum was founded in 1985 and occupies Dewez House, an architectural work from a period of major social change in Europe. The choice of this location connects Enlightenment ideals with modern preservation of this history.
The museum displays objects and artworks that reflect the core values and practices of Freemasonry in Belgian society. Visitors can see how this movement is rooted in the community and what meaning its symbols hold for members.
Visiting in the afternoon during the week allows you to see the collection in a calm atmosphere. The location is central to Brussels and easy to reach by public transportation.
The collection contains rare 18th-century items such as special tableware, jewelry, and decorative objects that show how members expressed their belonging. These personal objects give insight into a network that was connected across continents.
