The main museum is situated on the upper level of the lodge and is full of interesting artefacts from the world of Freemasonry. The museum can be viewed be any member of the lodge or by any visitor to the lodge. It is certainly worth a look and I would recommend it to anyone who enters the lodge and has a few minutes to spare.

The walls of the museum are covered in an array of masonic pictures, certificates and paintings,some of which are very old.

The display cabinets hold a variety of objects including jewels, magazines, glassware and ceramics.

Masonic aprons and candles are also on display.

One of the cabinets contains ancient ceremonial equipment such as drums, original hand painted aprons and bowls
