About

The Mapparium is a unique, three-story-tall stained-glass globe located in the Mary Baker Eddy Library in Boston, Massachusetts. Constructed in 1935, this remarkable structure allows visitors to walk through a bridge inside the globe, offering a rare, inside-out perspective of the world map as it appeared during that era. The Mapparium's design also creates fascinating acoustic effects, making even the softest whispers clearly audible across the globe.
