About the Project

A brand new museum within a new complex, OES spearheaded all aspects of its development and implementation. At over 4,000 square feet, the museum chronicles the local, historical, national and international influence of Freemasonry. With a special focus on the development of the state of Minnesota as it relates to the spread of Freemasons, the museum also highlights some of the more famous Masons and their impact. Blending traditional design sensibilities with cutting edge technology, the museum is a complex and multi-faceted visitor experience.

​

Outhouse collaborated closely with jwoodward design, which held all of the design responsibilities not only for the museum exhibits but also the physical space as well.
