Welcome to the Embassy of the Free Mind
The Embassy of the Free Mind invites you to explore a world of knowledge, philosophy and culture inside Amsterdam’s historic House with the Heads. A visit here offers a thoughtful journey where science, spirituality, art and history converge in a unique atmosphere that inspires curiosity and reflection.

This museum is home to the renowned Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica, a library featuring an expansive collection of rare books and manuscripts that span over two thousand years of humanity’s search for meaning. Wander through rooms lined with these treasures as you gain insight into the ways diverse thinkers have shaped our understanding of the world.
Experience the Historic Setting
The Embassy is set in a beautifully preserved 17th-century canal house. Marvel at original architectural details and stroll through tranquil gardens that offer space for contemplation before returning inside to engage with the exhibits, the library and displays created for both solo reflection and group discussion.
