Embassy Of The Free Mind

About

Nestled in the heart of Amsterdam within the majestic 17th-century ‘House with the Heads’ on Keizersgracht 123, the Embassy of the Free Mind is a beacon for creatives and freethinkers who dare to challenge the status quo. This international meeting place, a museum enriched with the collection of the Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica, is more than just a building: it’s a vibrant hub of innovation and inspiration. In this stunning venue, visitors are drawn not only to the architectural beauty and alchemical garden but are also captivated by the wisdom housed within its walls. The museum brings to life the insights of over 30,000 books, all offering a journey through the intertwined realms of science and spirituality, showcasing the interconnectedness of all knowledge and echoing the hermetic idea that All is One. As a community space featuring a versatile programme of tours, lectures, venue hire and workshops, the museum includes a reading room, café, great hall, and exhibition room.
