Illuminati Membership

The Illuminati title is the highest grade in the museum, meant for those whose wisdom and generosity can be an inspiration to others and whose legacy will bring education and insight to millions over time.

The museum will be unlike any other. It’s not just a collection of objects, but an experiential theatrical adventure likened to Joseph Campbell’s Heroes Journey. Its organization follows Jung’s alchemical path to individuation, meant to encourage enlightenment.

Membership card with an exquisite enameled badge.
