Roland Hanke : Chairman of the Masonic Museum Bayreuth
Presents a Masonic quiz
example of a question : Show participants a series of photos and documents and ask them if they recognize who is / was a Freemason and who is / was not.
This was shown to the public in the Deutches Freimaurermuseum.
The aim was to show the world of Freemasonry in a pleasant way to non-Masons.
Another example : playing cards with reproductions of German Masonic Temples


DENNIS MARC : Curator of The Library and Museum of Freemasonry

Realisation of a virtual exhibition in the Open Air Museum at Beamish (County Durham) . Transfer of a 19th-century Masonic Temple. The Duke of Kent inaugurated the building / Masonic Temple on 19th September 2003. One of the aims is the exteriorisation of Masonic activities in the United Kingdom.

17.30 “résumé and outlook” : subjects for the coming year forum

Clements Diane : Director of The Library and Museum of Freemasonry London

A touring exhibition on the crucial year 1913 will be ready in 2008. She asks the members to send her information about important events / evolutions etc. in their country in 1913.

Hannesson Jon-Thor : Curator Museum Iceland
Proposes a lecture on the latest developments to prepare / present an exhibition.

Idea of a travelling exhibition – This has already been proposed by Michael Kraus (Austria).

Ceccaldi Stéphane : Grande Loge de France – Museum – official national curator – supports this idea : The original artefacts are in the museum, why not complete them with facsimile of other museums?
He also proposes an item for 2007 about table lodges.
