Hi. I'm a student of architecture. Long time ago, I've heard about
this building, I think it's in Boston, but I'm not sure if it's even
in the USA. One of it's parts has a round shape, the walls (or maybe
it could be a dome) are painted (maybe it was stained glass) in this
way that there is created a political map of world from the 30' of XX
century (exatly year 1935 but I'm not sure). This map is viewed from
the inside. The effect is like you're looking on a big model of
earth's globe, but from the inside of it. Thanks for help :)

Hello, Monika from Poland. The globe you are referring to is at the
Christian Science Center in Boston and is called the Mapparium. It is
an amazingly cool structure. The acoustics are unbelievable. When
you Google for info, make sure you check out the acoustics workup of
the Mapparium.

What fun. The inside-out thing is a bit of a mind-bender though, except for
someone used to the point of view of being the center of the world I guess.
A bit of the Cenotaph for Newton about it, don't you think?

It has been recently upgraded. I have not seen it since, but assume that it
is basically the same.
