Educational Event
The Gettysburg Foundation and the National Park Service invite visitors to the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center between January 7 and February 1 for an extraordinary opportunity to view the Cyclorama painting while it receives a special cleaning by acclaimed Chief Conservator David L. Olin and his crew of conservators.
As operators of the park’s Museum, the Gettysburg Foundation is funding and overseeing the recommended cleaning of the historic painting from January 7 through an expected completion date of February 1, 2013. The cleaning will take place from 8:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and will enable visitors to observe the cleaning of the painting while hearing an historic narrative of the scenes depicted in the painting by knowledgeable members of the Visitor Services Staff. Cleaning will not occur on weekends when the Cyclorama shows will return to the normal ½ hour program with a light show and recorded narration.
Tickets to view the Cyclorama are available by calling 877-874-2478, online at www.gettysburgfoundation.org and at the Ticket Counter at the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center.
