Embassy of the Free Mind
The Embassy of the Free Mind is a museum, library and platform for free thinking inspired by the philosophy of the Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica collection. The museum focuses on the European culture of free thinking of the past 2,000 years with Hermetic wisdom as the source of inspiration: insight into the connection between God, cosmos and man. This connection is reflected in the Hermetic, alchemical, astrological, magical, mystical, kabbalistic and Rosicrucian texts and images in the collection.

Vrijburg is a historic clandestine church concealed behind a row of houses fronting on the Keizersgracht, Amsterdam. It is situated in the center of the block, with houses on all four sides and no frontage on any public street. Vrijburg was built between 1629 and 1631 to serve Amsterdam's Remonstrant Protestants, who were not allowed to hold worship services in a manner visible by the public.
