The Freemasons, who for centuries zealously guarded the secrecy of their rites

and greetings, are hoping to dismantle their mysterious image and revive interest

in their declining society by opening a museum along the Boston Common.

As part of a multimillion-dollar renovation of its Grand Lodge, the Masons will

put windows in the windowless facade, add a doorway along Tremont Street, and

put on display a vast collection of Masonic memorabilia.
