If it were allowed, I’d get my tripod and wide angle lens and spend the day (or 2) there. Unfortunately it was a 1 hour guided tour, snap away. There were seven themed rooms and the halls and stairs were amazing.

Picture This by Frank 
It is nice that they allowed photos, not every place does, I am really enjoying these images.
Yes, I was surprised. I think they are trying to dispel the Da Vinci Code myths and all the history channel stuff by being open. They do continually touch up the wall murals, etc so no worries about flash picture degradation.
Very impressive! Love the stained glass windows, such beautiful detail.
It’s an amazing place.
I was curious with the Masons before and I researched on its origins. I found a book titled, “Hiram Key” which details how and why the Freemason was formed. A very interesting book… It flashed my mind upon reading your blog. 🙂
Lots of books and speculation on their origins. Interesting fact 14 US presidents were masons. I wonder if they have this kind of power in other countries.
They do… Most of the government officials we have here in the Philippines have admitted their masonic relations.
