MA250 Special Exhibit: Mary Baker Eddy and Her Revolutionary Legacy
About this Event
A new temporary exhibit at the Christian Science Plaza celebrating MA250 highlights the revolutionary ideas and historical legacy of Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910), one of the only women to found a worldwide religion.
This free exhibit is part of our interactive How Do You See the World?® experience, exploring the world through a lens of hope, progress, and generosity.
- Walk through the three-story, stained glass Mapparium® globe (ticketed) that shows the world as it was in 1935 — from the inside of the world, looking out.
- You can then explore “Our World: Mapping Progress,” an exhibit featuring stories from The Christian Science Monitor, the Pulitzer Prize-winning international news source headquartered in the building.
- Learn more about Eddy’s remarkable life and the global church she founded in “Christian Science and Mary Baker Eddy.”
This special exhibit will be open through spring and summer 2026 as part of the statewide MA250 celebrations. Tickets for the Mapparium® globe are free for youth under 18, $6 for adults. All other exhibits, including this special exhibit, are free.
