Panometer Dresden
A 360-degree panorama hall converted from an old gas tank, with giant paintings recreating Baroque Dresden or the city after 1945.
The Panometer was converted from a circular gas storage tank built in the late 19th century. Artist Yadegar Asisi hangs 360-degree panoramic paintings about 27 metres high and more than 100 metres in circumference on the inner wall, and visitors stand on a central tower as if they were inside the scene. The works rotate. The most common are “Dresden in the Baroque Era” and “Dresden after the 1945 Bombing,” accompanied by lighting and sound effects that simulate day and night, creating a powerful impact. Admission is about €15 (check the official website for details). It lies in the southeast of the city; take tram 1 or 2 to Liebstädter Straße, then walk about 5 minutes.
Opening hours
About 10:00–18:00; extended hours on weekends (check the official website)
