Come tour the Boston Public Library McKim Building in Copley Square, one of America’s architectural treasures. Designed by Charles Follen McKim in the Renaissance Revival style, the building was proclaimed “a palace for the people” when it opened its doors in 1895. In addition to mosaics, murals and wall paintings, you’ll see features made of 20 varieties of marble. The tour will end with a visit to Made In Boston, a special exhibition that brings together maps made in Boston the century before the American Revolution.
