The Asisi Panometer
Richard-Lehmann-Strasse 114, +49 (0)341 35 55 34-0. Tu-F 9-7, Sat-Sun 10-8. E10.
Created by artist Yadegar Asisi, this innovative 360-degree panorama exhibition known as The Asisi Panometeris tucked inside a 19th-century cylindrical gas storage building and is the world’s largest. The picture measures approximately 88½-feet/27 meters high and more than 328 feet/100 meters long. Previous themes have been “Mt. Everest” and “Ancient Rome.” The current “Amazonia” includes colorful scenes in Brazil’s rainforest that transform from day through night. When the exhibition ends, one ton of canvas comes down from the walls and is burned. According to Asisi, “It is gone like a theater piece or a concert.”

Mephi. I actually did have the good fortune to attend a special event/dinner here, and it was delicious to enjoy a meal amid this wonder. I see that the show I saw, AMAZONIA, runs through June 1, 2013.
