One of my favorite places in Boston. There's history and art and architecture. If none of these appeal to you, go just to see the spectacular fountain in the courtyard. The inside is one of the most beautiful buildings in Boston and it's easy to imagine all of the people who walked thru its halls over the centuries. If you have extra time, it's a wonderful place to take a siesta in the courtyard.
Pros: Beautiful fountain, Stunning reading room, Living history
