Freemasonry may sound a little mysterious, but in the Freemasonry Museum you'll discover what it really is. Freemasonry has existed in the Netherlands since 1734. The Order of Freemasons is a democratic association. Freemasonry stands for freedom of thought, equality and tolerance. Freemasons do not find differences of opinion annoying, but rather an enrichment! The purpose of Freemasonry is personal development - for yourself and to help the world around you.
