MAPPARIUM: MARY BAKER EDDY LIBRARY




Boston's Mapparium is a three-story glass globe located in the Mary Baker Eddy Library at the Christian Science Publishing Society's headquarters. The globe was build in 1935 and designed by architect Chester Lindsay Churchill. Visitors to Mapparium can venture through the middle of Earth via a suspended walkway within the globe.

I can't believe I lived in Boston for so long and never saw this, adding it to my next trip up to Beantown!
