This world-famous, three-story, stained-glass globe is one of the key attractions at the Mary Baker Eddy Library for the Betterment of Humanity. The Mapparium's three-dimensional perspective of the world of 1935 is enhanced by 'A World of Ideas,' an original presentation that features a rich orchestration of words, music, and LED lights to illustrate how ideas have traversed time and geography and changed the world.

The Mapparium: An Inside View, features never before made public letters, documents, and artifacts showcasing the construction, history, and significance of this magnificent architectural and artistic achievement.

The Mary Baker Eddy Library, housed in a neoclassical building, has become an historic landmark in Boston's Back Bay. The Library opened in 2002 as a place for people to explore the life, ideas, and achievements of Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910), founder of Christian Science.
