Lifting the lid on 150 Years of Freemasonry
The Masonic Lodge of Antrim is celebrating 150 years of Freemasonry in Ireland with an exciting Pop-Up Museum in the Linen Hall Library throughout November.
The unique exhibition which starts on Thursday 1st and runs to 30th November in the Linenhall Library, Belfast, will showcase a number of interesting artefacts and documents and ultimately will tell the story of Freemasonry in Ireland, aiming to dispel some of the myths and legends that surround this fraternal and historic organisation.
Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest and largest non-religious, non-political, fraternal and charitable organisations with over 5,000 members in Antrim, 30,000 across Ireland, and six million world-wide. They are the second largest charitable donors in the UK (after the National Lottery Fund) with over £33m raised last year by more than 180 masonic groups.
Anticipating interest in the exhibition, Provincial Grand Master, John Dickson, who has been a Freemason for over 40 years says;
“We are celebrating one of the oldest charitable organisations in the world, one which I am proud to be a member of, one which is steeped in history and dedicated to helping people in society in any way we can. I hope that people will want to come and find out more about Freemasonry and discover that what we stand for is not sinister or secretive, but simply we exist to make good men better. Freemasonry instils in its members a moral and ethical approach to life, we are an organisation which is caring, honourable, promotes peace, loyalty, the good order of society and upholds the law.”
Visitors to the exhibition can expect to learn about some of the more well-known Freemasons such as motorcyclist Joey Dunlop, Sir Charles Lanyon, who famously designed Belfast Castle, the Lanyon building at Queens University and the Palm House at Botanic Gardens as well as more internationally renowned names such as actor John Wayne, entertainer Bob Monkhouse and professional golfer Arnold Palmer.
