COMPLIMENTARY TOUR OF BOSTON
The “Mapparium” is a stunning thirty-foot stained-glass globe room located in The Mary Baker Eddy Library. Standing inside the globe on the thirty-foot glass bridge that spans the center, visitors have a true insider’s view of the world. Since opening in 1935, more than 10 million people have stepped across the bridge to this magnificent piece of art and architecture that was then, and still is today, the only one of its kind in the world.
From pole to pole, you can see the correct proportion and relationship of the earth's land and water areas. The colors of each of the 608 stained-glass panels mark political divisions (of 1935), land, and water. Because the glass surface does not absorb sound, sound waves travel along the walls and bounce back into the center of the room, giving the room unusual echoing sound effects.
Harvard University’s Peabody Museum, world famous glass botanical collection of over 3,000 glass plants and flowers, features 847 different plant species. “The superiority in design and construction of the Blaschka models surpasses all modern model making to date.” (Journal of American Conservation)
<<<>>> <<>> <<<<>>>> <<>> <<<>>>
The glass flowers are not made simply of glass. Many are painted, (particularly models made in the years 1886–95) and varnished; some parts are glued together, and some of the models contain wire armatures within the glass stems. Coloring of the models ranges from paint to colored glass to enameling. To this day, no one has been able to duplicate the Blaschka's fine artistry. The models were created by father and son Leopold and Rudolph Blaschka, nineteenth century glass artisans who perfected their family craft from 1887 through 1936 in Hosterwitz, near Dresden, Germany for the purpose of teaching botany. Their lineage of jewelers and glassmakers trace as far back as the fifteenth century. The parts were shaped after the glass was softened by heat. Some models were blown. Colored glass was used for many models, others were "cold painted" with a thin wash of colored ground glass or metal oxide(s) and heated until the material fused to the model. The glass flowers are one of the most famous attractions of Boston. More than 120,000 visitors view the collection annually.
A visitor returning to Boston in 1951 wrote: "I was told the two sights above all others that visiting salesmen from the country wish to see when in Boston are the glass flowers at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology in Harvard Square and the “Mapparium” at the Christian Science Publishing Society.”
