Embassy of the Free Mind: books and free thinking

Embassy of the Free Mind in Amsterdam combines a museum and a library. Exhibitions and activities cover subjects including Hermetic philosophy, mysticism, alchemy and the history of science.

Plan your visit ↗

Approaching unfamiliar concepts

The subjects may be new to you without that needing to be an obstacle. Use the exhibition texts to understand how a book, image or idea is placed within the chosen theme.

A collection with questions

The Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica is the stated background of the collection. A museum visit is something different from consulting books; so discuss focused research in advance and ask what access is possible.

The house as a setting

The Huis met de Hoofden (House with the Heads) provides the spatial setting. See how exhibitions and public programmes are spread across the rooms, especially if you want to follow several parts.

Before you go

Check the different Sunday hours and possible private events. Book in advance if necessary and discuss accessibility or use of the archive separately.
