Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum & Planetarium Description
In Rosicrucian Park is the headquarters of the Union of Rosicrucians of international freemasonry. The movement owes its origin to anonymous 17th century writings, based on the life of the knight Christianus Rosencreitz (14th century) and his brotherhood of men and which spread the concept of neoplatonic, alchemic and mystic thought.

The Egyptian Museum in the park possesses a large collection of Egyptian, Assyrian and Babylonian works of art, a reproduction of an Egyptian rock-tomb and French furniture. An adjoining building houses an art gallery and a planetarium which - like the exhibits - are owned by the Rosicrucians.
