Stunning olde Boston

Quite possibly the city's most exclusive library, you'll find one of the most valuable book collections in the world, in this architecturally stunning building. Though it is open only to members, on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 3p reservation-only tours are available for part of the library. The collections located here gave rise to the Boston Museum of Fine Art.
