Nuit des Musées 2025 is back for a 21st edition full of surprises, in Paris and across Europe. Art lovers can’t wait to take advantage of this exceptional free night-time event, during which museums invite us to enjoy different activities every year. New installations, prestigious guest artists, as well as guided tours, evening strolls, concerts, shows, and children’s activities bring the museums to life for an evening, or perhaps a night.
The Musée de la Franc-Maçonnerie is taking part in the 21st Nuit des Musées on Saturday, May 17, giving you the chance to discover the influence of Freemasonry on the evolution of society! Are you ready for this cultural nocturne?
For Museums Night, we’re off to discover the Museum of Freemasonry, which is opening its doors to us free of charge. This unusual museum lifts the veil on the intriguing history of this organization, initiated in 1778 by Benjamin Franklin. Thousands of documents testify to the role played by lodges in the history of the Republic, particularly in the choice of its values: tolerance, secularism and solidarity.
More than two centuries of history are presented in 400 square meters. Ritual decorations and objects belonging to lodges and Masons are on display, as are seals, jewels, medals, manuscripts, engravings, and architectural books. Numerous photographs shed light on the daily lives of Freemasons.
