"What in the World is a Cyclorama?"
Saturday, June 22, 2013
Educational Event
Experience our after-hours program “What In The World Is A Cyclorama?” and learn about the world of cycloramas, including our cyclorama, a painting depicting the famous “Pickett’s Charge.” Located at the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center, this painting is 42 feet high, 377 feet around (longer than a football field) and weighs an estimated 12.5 tons! Nearly 20 trained conservators worked for five years on the painting’s recent conservation, an effort that took five years and is the largest effort of its kind ever on the continent. In this special program you will have exclusive access to the painting with extended time on the viewing platform where you'll see the details of the painting for yourself and get answers to your cyclorama questions.
These programs are scheduled for: June 22, August 3, August 31, September 14, September 28, October 5, and October 19. All programs begin at 6:00pm and will last approximately two hours. Dates and times are subject to change.
Tickets ($15 for adults and $8 for youth) are available online at
