The Mary Baker Eddy Library is a lending library and museum as well as the repository for the papers of Mary Baker Eddy, an influential American author, teacher, and religious leader who founded Christian Science. It is located on Massachusetts Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts and housed in a portion of the eleven-story structure originally built for The Christian Science Publishing Society, part of the Christian Science Center complex. While the Library is the official repository for the previously unpublished letters and manuscripts of Mary Baker Eddy, it also includes exhibits as well as the Mapparium, a three-story stained-glass globe that allows the viewer to stand inside the world map of 1935.
