Image description: Painting of a broad panoramic view, as though captured from an airplane or high vantage point, of fields, trees, and marshland. In the center, where several acres of land has been cleared, sits a wide one-story building, comparatively small against the broad view. The building connects via a network of ground cables to two large sections of radio arrays, each easily five or six times the height of the building. Muted greens and yellows dominate the overall tones of the painting.

Welcome to The Mary Baker Eddy Library

The Library houses a rich and extensive collection of original materials that includes documents, art and historic artifacts, photographs, books, and audiovisuals that document the history of the church she founded, up to the present day.
