Rosicrucian Park

Rosicrucian Park, with its world-famous Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, is also home to the new Rosicrucian Labyrinth, Alchemy Exhibit, and Alchemy Garden, as well as the historic Rosicrucian Planetarium, Peace Garden, Rosicrucian Temple, and Research Library.

We so look forward to welcoming everyone into our extraordinary museum!

Rosicrucian Park is situated in an area that was once mostly orchards and farmland. Conceived in 1927 by H. Spencer Lewis, the founder of the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, Rosicrucian Park now covers an entire city block. Each year, hundreds of thousands of guests from all over the world enjoy the peaceful environment, along with the spiritual essence of what Rosicrucian Park represents, creating a serene and harmonious experience.

Allow plenty of time to stroll through the beautiful grounds with buildings inspired by Egyptian and Moorish architecture and to relax in the tranquil gardens.
