Bring your friends and family and explore one of Boston’s most remarkable historic spaces. Stop by anytime between 9 am and 7 pm on Monday, October 12—no registration required.
While you’re here, experience our newest exhibition, Where’s Boston? 50 Years Later. Originally commissioned for the Where’s Boston? Bicentennial exhibition, Constantine Manos’s photographs highlight both public gatherings and private moments—protests, parades, flea markets, diners, and games—offering a dynamic snapshot of urban life.
You can also explore fascinating historical treasures in our exhibition, Imagined Nation, including George Washington’s personal copy of Thomas Paine's Common Sense.
Free first-floor admission includes access to the Norma Jean Calderwood Gallery, special collections and art installations, and the library’s stunning reading rooms. You can also explore with our digital guide on your smartphone—just bring your headphones!
