images from the abbey room at the boston public library

The Abbey Room is located on the second floor of the McKim Building in the Boston Public Library in Copley Square. Its high walls are covered by a series of mural paintings depicting The Quest for the Holy Grail. A lovely place to hang out on a rainy day in Boston.
Painted by Edwin Austin Abbey.
