About The Mary Baker Eddy Library and Mapparium

Located in the heart of Back Bay, the Christian Science Plaza is home to The First Church of Christ, Scientist (The Mother Church), The Christian Science Publishing Society, The Mary Baker Eddy Library, and the new interactive experience, How Do You See the World? + Mapparium™ globe. You’ll also find the Reflecting Pool and the Children’s Fountain. 

The Plaza is always open to the public. We offer tours of How Do You See the World?  + Mapparium™ globe and The Mother Church, which has one of the world’s largest pipe organs.

The How Do You See the World? experience explores stories about global progress—how individuals worldwide have overcome challenges and found hope. The space encourages you to reflect on this question while exploring the interactive exhibits:

  • Walk through the iconic Mapparium™ globe.
  • Look deeper into humanity's advancement and find stories about individuals who have made a difference in their communities with The Christian Science Monitor.
  • Learn about the woman who founded the Christian Science church and the Monitor—Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910)—through exploring her lifelong love of the Bible and its ongoing relevance and application to universal questions today.
