Panometer Leipzig
A former gasholder converted into an enormous 360-degree panorama exhibition hall, with paintings about 30 m high and themes that change regularly.
The Panometer was converted from a gasholder completed in 1910. Artist Yadegar Asisi exhibits 360-degree panoramas about 30 m high and more than 100 m in circumference. The themes change every year or two, and past subjects have included Mount Everest, the Amazon rainforest, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Titanic. Visitors can climb to a viewing platform 15 m high at the centre and watch the day-night cycle unfold with changing light and sound effects. Admission is about 17 euros. It is located in the Connewitz district, about 2 km from the Battle of the Nations Monument.
