The secret of Tracing Boards

The Tracing Board lies at the very heart of Masonic ritual. It occupies an essential position, yet one that is rarely visible to the general public. Both symbolic and functional, it structures the ritual space while guiding reflection and interpretation.

This exhibition offers visitors an unprecedented immersion into this distinctive visual universe. It seeks to elucidate what a tracing board is, to explore its role and uses, and to reveal the wide variety of forms and representations it can assume.

Around thirty works highlight the formal and conceptual richness of these boards, while offering a renewed perspective on a symbolic heritage that dates back to the eighteenth century.
