The Mary Baker Eddy Library in Boston serves as a research library, museum, and archive devoted to Mary Baker Eddy, Christian Science, and the movement’s historical setting. Housed in an eleven-story former publishing building at the Christian Science Center, it preserves the history of Christian Science publishing and stands within the later Christian Science Plaza expansion. Its best-known feature is the Mapparium, a three-story stained-glass globe from 1935 whose interior bridge reveals the world as mapped in the mid-1930s and produces striking acoustic effects. The library also holds extensive Mary Baker Eddy papers and a notable historic Bible collection, making it an important center for scholarship and public interpretation.
