The Mapparium—designed by architect Charles Lindsay Churchill—is a three-story stained-glass globe in the library of the Christian Science Publishing Society building in Boston, Massachusetts. It's composed of over 600 panes of curved stained glass. #WyrdWednesday

I second the Mapparium as a hidden gem and would note that the Harvard Art Museums are free and newly renovated so the accessibility is good. Have fun!

The Mapparium is a fascinating look back in time to 1935. It looks familiar yet so different; colonialism was so much more apparent across Africa and Asia.

If you like out-of-date maps, go to the Christian Science Mapparium, a giant glass globe you walk through.

My husband grew up in Massachusetts and the thing he most wanted to show me in Boston was the Mapparium, simply because it's cool.

There’s something to be said about being a tourist in your own town for the day. The Mapparium in Boston is very very cool.
(And no, I did not do a duck boat. Gotta draw the line somewhere.)

The Mapparium at the Christian Science church in Boston. A huge, three-storey stained glass globe depicting the world in 1935. You can walk through the centre of it, and it acts as a whisper gallery, with really weird acoustics. This is a panoramic picture, so click to see it all!
