Copley Square

Copley Square , named for painter John Singleton Copley, is a public square in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood, bounded by Boylston Street, Clarendon Street, St. James Avenue, and Dartmouth Street. Prior to 1883 it was known as Art Square due to its many cultural institutions, some of which remain today. It was proposed as a Boston Landmark.
A significant number of important Boston educational and cultural institutions were originally located adjacent to Copley Square, reflecting 19th-century Boston's aspirations for the location as a center of culture and progress.
These included
the Museum of Fine Arts, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard Medical School, the New England Museum of Natural History , Trinity Church, the New Old South Church, the Boston Public Library, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Massachusetts Normal Art School , the Horace Mann School for the Deaf, Boston University, Emerson College, and Northeastern University.
