When I was in Boston I visited the main headquarters of the Christian Science Church. On our tour of Boston, the guide mentioned the famous "mapparium" (a 3 story stained glass globe you can walk into) and that intrigued me. Also, when we were poor students the Christian Science Reading Room people in Vancouver gave us a free subscription for years to their excellent newspaper and I was interested in seeing the where it was produced. They have quite a neat display for the newspaper. You can look into the offices and they have a computer program which allows you to track what is happening during the daily production in all the various areas. Plus you can create your own new story...it was all quite fun.

Take a look at the mappariumwebsite for pix.
