Boston Public Library

　　Highlights    　　The library’s exquisite murals, carvings, and bronze doors are all worth close appreciation. You can also try to find Sargent’s mural. The library houses ancient books and rare editions.      Introduction       America’s most outstanding talents were called upon to build this most magnificent building in the United States — including McKim, Mead, and White, painter John Singer Sargent, and sculptor Bela Pratt. Completed in 1895, it truly lives up to its title as the “palace for the people.” Though some of its original glory has faded, the Boston Public Library remains a model of grand civic architecture. You can look for the murals created by Sargent and stroll through the Italianate central courtyard.     Transportation
