Opening Our Doors: “How Do You See the World?”

Join us for free, engaging activities for children, families, and the young at heart—connected to the Christian Science Plaza’s new exhibit experience, “How Do You See the World.” It’s an opportunity to explore possibilities for progress throughout the world—as you consider your own place in it.
And you can also tour the world-famous Mapparium™ globe, an architectural work of art!
