๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families with teenagers or history-focused adults with a genuine curiosity about Masonic history. The exhibit content rewards visitors who arrive with some background knowledge - younger children will find it harder to engage without context.

โ€œWe booked a tour of Freemasons Hall, which lasted about an hour and lived up to our expectations. The museum also has a souvenir shop and a cafe.โ€

โ€œI really didn't expect this place to be so interesting, or so beautiful. I had chosen this visit just to fill a spare bit of time in the area. The Museum ( North & South Gallery) and Library are free to visit. But I would highly recommend purchasing the "multimedia guide". Even if you don't listen to the commentary in the museum, this also gives you access to the magnificent Grand Temple and War Memorial in the adjoing Vestibule. Truly, you will have missed something special if you only visit the Museum & Library. In the museum many significant objects and symbols displayed and you can get an understanding of what it's all about, how Freemasonary originated, and their beliefs values and system of progression within each Order. Staff were so friendly and helpful, thanks to all.โ€

โ€œThis place very well respected and well known place all around the world because of its identity and ideology.There millions of questions behind this lodge.However,They are always open to questions and replying with patience. Due to those questions,They decided to open their museum to the publics .I visited them and saw their records,objects and tried to discover their principles.They are transparent and showing the part of their ideas . I like that. Whoever is really interested what is going on over there,They will definitely find all the answers and also they will also find out that they are not harmful to the anyone around the world. History is amazing. Highly recommendedโ€
