While visiting the amazing city of Boston your group may want to stop by the “Mary Baker Eddy Library.” There are interesting exhibits, educational opportunities, and research materials available for the students to explore. Mary Baker Eddy was born in 1821, and died in 1910. She was a religious leader, author, and teacher. The exhibits at the library are fascinating for students of all ages. One exhibit is known as the “Hall of Ideas,” which is a glass sculpture with a fountain. There are famous quotations that bubble up from the fountain taken from some of history’s great thinkers. Another interesting exhibit is the “Mapparium,” which has been in the library since 1935. It is a 3-story stained-glass globe, which is the most popular exhibit at the library. The group will see a presentation that focuses on how ideas have “traversed time and geography and have changed the world.” There are educational programs for students to enjoy and learn about interesting subjects. For example, your group can take a guided tour of the library where you will have the opportunity to visit the exhibit galleries. The tour is 45-60 minutes in length. You can also schedule a self-guided tour as well. There are other special events that happen during the year for your student group to explore. Visitors can look at research material during their exploration. The materials are original collections that focus on the life of Mary Baker Eddy and Christian Science. You will find information presented in several forms such as photographs, manuscripts, periodicals, and letters.
