Boston Public Library - Central Library (McKim Building)
4.8 (3,925)museum
4.8 (3,925)America's first large municipal library pairs Bates Hall’s soaring, green-lamped reading room with a serene courtyard.
Description
Inside the historic McKim Building, Renaissance-style architecture frames an extensive collection of art and books. Beyond the stone arches, Bates Hall's 50-foot barrel vault spans the building's full length, and the wider complex provides ample quiet spaces to study or read, a dedicated bookshop, and cafés.
