Come tour the Boston Public Library (BPL) in Copley Square, one of America's architectural treasures. Designed by McKim, Mead and White and completed in 1895, the magnificent Renaissance Revival building marries art with architecture. In addition to mosaics, wall paintings, and murals, you'll see features made of 20 varieties of marble. On this special tour, you'll learn about the many connections between MIT and the BPL including a visit to the current exhibition, Palaces for the People: Guastavino and America's Great Public Spaces, organized by MIT Architecture's Prof. John Ochsendorf.
