Leipzig Panometer

Digital technology is used to combine photos, drawings and paintings into a single large picture file, which is then printed onto individual strips of textile.

There are also light and sound effects, including a simulated day-night cycle, sounds from nature, and music composed especially by the Belgian composer Eric Babak[3] In the area between the panorama and the outer wall there is an exhibition on a theme related to the picture (currently the Titanic), as well as a film viewing room.

The accompanying exhibition showed the history of Western journeys to Everest on one side of the building, and the viewpoint of local Buddhist inhabitants on the other.

A recreation of an 1889 panorama of Rome by Alexander von Wagner, portraying Constantine the Great's entry into the city following his success in the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312.

It included a reconstruction of the partly destroyed, 12 metres (39 ft) high Colossus of Constantine, rebuilt as an anamorphosis (a kind of visual illusion).

This was made to honour the 150th anniversary of the death of Alexander von Humboldt, the German naturalist who explored South America.

The panorama shows a diverse and detailed image of the flora and fauna of the rainforest, in which some smaller animals are only visible with a telescope.
