Review & FAQ:

Boston Public Library provides more than books for visitors, guests can also join one of the daily tours that highlight the architecture of the famed buildings of the Central Library by Philip Johnson and Charles Follen McKim. This is in addition to the art treasures located inside of the library, which include works by John Singer Sargent and Daniel Chester French. The free tours are available to everyone and are led by trained volunteers. Guided tours last around sixty minutes in duration and start at the vestibule in the McKim Building, just inside of the library entrance on Dartmouth Street.
