"How Do You See the World?" Experience & Mapparium
Last Saturday, I visited a unique museum in Boston, Massachusetts. This experience can be described with a number of different names related to the the church of Christian Science. These descriptions can be confusing if you are looking on the web to visit, so I'm going to explain the layout before jumping into the experience. The entire facility is called the Christian Science Plaza, which serves as the center of Christian Science. Within the Christian Science Plaza are the Mary Baker Eddy Library, the Mother Church, and the Christian Scientist Publishing House. The Mary Baker Eddy Library is named for the founder or "discoverer" of Christian Science. She lived in New Hampshire and Massachusetts from 1821 to 1910. A brief biography of her life can be found on the Christian Science website and on the Library website . Many books have been written about her by both Christian Scientists and historians.
