À Mons, mythes, légendes et symboles permettent de lever le voile sur la franc-maçonnerie et sur les francs-maçons.
À quoi s'attendre ?
L’exposition retrace les origines de la franc-maçonnerie en 1717 jusqu’à aujourd’hui, avec 2 étages remplis une d'objets en tout genre :
- maquettes de loges maçonniques
- outils
- tabliers, vêtements
- diplômes
- bijoux...
Valeurs, organisation interne, cérémonies, décorum et temples sont abordés tant au travers d’archives historiques, d’objets usuels, de reconstitution que de véritables œuvres artistiques. Des témoignages de francs-maçons, déçus ou convaincus, permettent de nuancer les propos.
Une belle occasion de découvrir la franc-maçonnerie.
