To introduce the outside world to the The Palace of Typographic Masonry educational boxes have been made that—as travelling source collections—form a nomadic exhibition. The educational chest carries eighteen symbols. These are inherited from the Freemasonry and depicted on triangles that can be placed onto the magnetic ‘tracing board,’ resulting in a new visual symbolic narrative.
