Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The House with the Heads gets its name from six stone heads on the facade—legend says they're of executed criminals, but nobody knows for sure.
The Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica was Dan Brown's research goldmine for 'The Lost Symbol'; the Ritmans initially refused him access.
