Christian Science Publishing Society

The Mary Baker Eddy Library is a research library, museum, and repository for the papers of Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science.The library is located on the Christian Science Center, Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts, and housed in a portion of the 11-story structure originally built for the Christian Science Publishing Society. While the library holds the archive for the letters and manuscripts of Mary Baker Eddy, it contains other exhibits, including the Mapparium, a three-story stained-glass globe that allows visitors to stand inside a globe depicting the world of 1934.

The Mapparium is a three-story-tall globe made of stained glass that is viewed from a 30-foot-long (9.1 m) bridge through its interior. As of August 2021, it is part of the “How Do You See the World?” exhibit of the Christian Science Publishing Society in Boston, Massachusetts. Built in 1935 and based upon Rand McNally political maps published the previous year, the Mapparium shows the political world as it was at that time, including such long-disused labels as Italian East Africa and Siam, as well as more recently defunct political entities such as the Soviet Union. In 1939, 1958, and 1966 the Church considered updating the map, but rejected it on the basis of cost and the special interest it holds as a historical artifact.

The Prudential Tunnel is a tunnel through which Interstate 90 (the Massachusetts Turnpike) runs underneath the Prudential Tower complex in Boston. It was created in 1965 as part of the first extension of the Turnpike into Boston. The tunnel has been criticized for its poor lighting in comparison to the newer O'Neill Tunnel, Fort Point Tunnel, and Ted Williams Tunnel. In 2014, a hole was punched in the wall of the tunnel following an accident involving a large truck. The tunnel has since been repaired and is fully operational again. One exit is contained within the tunnel, the Copley Interchange on the Massachusetts Turnpike.
