The Mary Baker Eddy Library is home to one of Boston’s most unique attractions—the Mapparium, a three-story stained-glass globe that lets you step inside a brilliantly illuminated world map as it appeared in 1934. This mesmerizing structure offers a one-of-a-kind perspective on geography and history, with a captivating acoustic effect that makes even the softest whisper carry across the dome.

Beyond the Mapparium, the library explores the life and legacy of Mary Baker Eddy, a trailblazer who founded Christian Science, launched an international newspaper, and made an impact in the fields of religion, health, and journalism. The museum’s archives house an extensive collection of historic documents, photographs, artifacts, and books detailing her influence and the evolution of the movement she started.

Visitors can also dive into rotating exhibits, interactive programs, and historical research that bring Eddy’s achievements to life. Whether you’re fascinated by history, architecture, or the power of ideas, the Mary Baker Eddy Library offers a truly distinctive experience in the heart of Boston.
