The Boston Athenæum itself is only as weird as any library, which is pretty darn weird considering the things visitors read in books. However what really makes this particular library and museum strange is a piece that belongs in a horror film. This is the James Allen book of skin. The skin on this biography belonged to its subject a death row prisoner. His dying wish was this book bound in his own flesh.??

The first floor and exhibition galleries are open to the public. All other floors are open to members only, however they can be viewed on one of the weekly Art and Architecture Tours.
