MoreThis century-old Italianate structure of bronze doors and grand marble staircases, Boston Public Library was the first free municipal library in the nation. The library's first building on Mason Street was a former schoolhouse, which opened in 1854. Having received an authorized decision, the library's then commissioners located a new building for the library on Boylston Street. Thus, the Copley Square location became home to the library in 1895. Expanding the Copley Square location in 1972, the Johnson building was constructed adjoining the McKim building. In this National Historic Landmark, you can find collections of maps and prints, rare books and manuscripts, and fine mural series. The Boston Public Library offers daily tours highlighting famed central library buildings and art works by some prolific artists from the bygone era. Less

  Absolutely beautiful building, it truly looks as if it belongs in Italy. I wasn’t planning on staying long, but we ended up staying longer than expected because it really is stunning. More

  Late opening meant we could visit here late this afternoon. We were very lucky to find there was a free concert in the courtyard with 2 great soul singers entertaining the crowd. Then upstairs to the... More
