From the 'Hall of Ideas' to the 'Quest Gallery'

From the March 2002 issue of The Christian Science Journal


is the creative director for The Mary Baker Eddy Library for the Betterment of Humanity. In this role, he has worked with a team of researchers, writers, and designers to produce a learning experience for all ages. Below, he describes some of the exhibits and their themes.

One of the first discoveries we hope people will make when they visit the Library is how at home they feel. That's because the Library's exhibits are very contemporary and inclusive — and very much about you. Just as the Library's namesake dedicated her major work, Science and Health, "to honest seekers for Truth,"  Science and Health, p. xii. we have designed the exhibits to appeal to the seeker in everyone.

On the first floor, visitors will enter a grand "Hall of Ideas" in the spacious classical foyer that was formerly the "Hall of Flags." Here, the words and ideas of history's most influential thinkers will be creatively displayed and projected. A sculptural centerpiece will serve as both an actual fountain and a wellspring from which an ever-changing flow of quotes by authors, philosophers, religious leaders, and many others will emerge. The Hall of Ideas celebrates our common heritage — the great ideas that have bettered individuals and society throughout the ages.
