Special exhibition:
100 years of the Scottish Rite in Austria

To mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Supreme Council of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite in Austria on October 25, 1925, a special exhibition provides information about the history, significance, and content of this high-degree system of Freemasonry. With its 33 degrees, the Scottish Rite is dedicated to deepening knowledge and understanding of Freemasonry.

The Scottish Rite is a global organization whose origins can be traced back to the 18th century. Put simply, its goal is the practical application and spiritual development of a global humanity in the Masonic sense. After the first three degrees, which, according to an agreement with the Grand Lodge of Austria, are reserved for the so-called Johannis Lodges, the 30 subsequent degrees up to the 33rd degree are intended to enable the Scottish brother to further perfect himself and thus consolidate his view of the world and humanity.

Interested non-Freemasons, but also fellow Freemasons, will gain insights into the Scottish Rite and its history over the past 100 years in this informative exhibition.
