Be thankful for fezzes!

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US, we at the Virtual Museum of Fezology are thankful for all the great feedback we’ve received from those viewing the page. This collection is a labor of love and we really enjoy sharing it with everyone!

As a way to say “thank you,” we’ve updated the museum with two new exhibits before the holiday. First, you can learn more about Kismet Shrine, and it’s variant Shriner fez. Kismet may be small, but it’s an old Shrine with lots of history. Once you finish that, drop on by the Mokanna Grotto exhibit to learn more about the most unique and special Grotto still in existence (well, sort of.)

Enjoy your holiday!

Cleaning Out the Closet

That’s right boys and girls! You get an update two weeks in a row! We’ve had such a backlog of fezzes to post that we thought it would be a good idea to get some more exhibits up here ASAP. Today we’ve added two completely new areas to the museum, filling in some interesting niches.

The first new fez comes from a little known group called the Shrine Guilds of America, which is a ladies organization tied to Shriners International. It is a unique piece and was a great auction find for the museum.

Our second new exhibit comes from the Order of AHEPA – the American Hellenic Progressive Educational Association – a Greek rights group founded in Atlanta in the 1920’s. We have a nice example of an older fez as well as a more updated version for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks for stopping back and checking our the Museum! We hope you’ve enjoyed your visit!

Five Fez Update

Whew! We’ve finally gotten caught up on those boring real life tasks and have had a chance to do some much needed updates to the museum. Today, we have posted four new exhibits for you to enjoy. Start your tour of the new pieces over at the Alacala exhibit in the Order of Alhambra area where we have added a Past Grand Commander’s fez. Next, slip on over to the DOKK section of the Knights of Pythias to check out our new Royal Prince’s fez. After having your eyes dazzled there, shoot over to the Ladies of the Oriental Shrine of North American and check out our two acquisitions from Su-Zu Court No. 21. Oh, and why not end your journey with a little bit of mystery by checking our the new Bison fez at our Unknown Fezzes exhibit.

We hope you enjoy these updates and we encourage to stop back often to check out our ever expanding collection of fraternal fezzes.

A long awaited update…

Good day fellow Fezzians! Today we have a long awaited update to the fez museum. First, we start with a more general piece in the form of a fez from Medinah Shriners. We then, take a little detour into the obscure with some information on a rare United Order of Splendor and Perfection fez. Finally, we end our journey in the unknown, with the Chinar mini fez.

We hope you enjoy this update and we look forward to bringing you even more fezziness int he near future. We still have more than a dozen fezzes that are not yet on display, so check back often for more updates.

A Knights Tale of Tigers

Today we have just a small update. We recently acquired a fantastic piece from the Dramatic Order of the Knights of Khorassan, a branch of the Knights of Pythias. Go check it out – it’ll be worth the look!

Right now we still have 11 fezzes that have not been posted to the site, many from groups not even represented here yet. As those posts take a little longer format, we have been putting them off. However, we will soon launch those new modules, so check back and see what’s happening!
