Panorama Museum, Art museum in Bad Frankenhausen, Germany
Description
The Panorama Museum houses a monumental circular painting that is 14 meters tall and 123 meters around, with thousands of people depicted across its entire surface. Visitors walk around the painting and can see countless details, faces, and actions that tell the story of an entire period.
History
The painting was completed in 1989 and depicts the Peasant Wars of 1525, a major revolt against princely rule. The artist chose this moment to document an important German revolution that had been overlooked for centuries.
Culture
The cylindrical painting shows daily life during the Peasant Wars, with scenes of work, families, and social conflict from that period. You can see how the artist tells the story of history through the everyday experiences of ordinary people.
Practical
The painting is best viewed from an elevated platform in the center of the room, which gives the best viewing angle. Visitors are advised to take their time and explore the image in sections, as there is too much detail to take in all at once.
Did you know?
Artist Werner Tübke spent 12 years creating this painting and wove 75 different scenes into a single cohesive image. This long creation period allowed him to interweave historical moments with timeless human scenes that still resonate today.
