 Entrance to the "Mapparium" of the Mary Baker Eddy Library in Boston. Upon entering, you walk on a glass bridge inside a 3-story colored glass globe! It's an amazing experience. The acoustics are incredible too. The Mapparium was completed in 1935 and the globe reflects the names and boundaries of countries at that time. |
 Photography is not allowed inside the Mapparium, so this is a photo from Eddy Library web site at http://www.marybakereddylibrary.org/exhibits/mapparium.jhtml. |
