Cyclorama of Jerusalem

The cyclorama measures 14 meters in height and extends 110 meters in circumference, displaying detailed scenes from ancient Jerusalem on its circular canvas.

Paul Philippoteaux directed the creation of this panoramic masterwork between 1887 and 1888 in New York, collaborating with artists from Paris, Chicago, and London.

The painting depicts the crucifixion of Jesus and presents a complete view of Jerusalem, serving as both an artistic and religious educational resource.

Visitors access an elevated viewing platform to observe the entire panoramic scene, which spans 1540 square meters of painted surface area.

This panorama remains the only one in North America displayed in its original rotunda, constructed on stilts and designated as heritage property in 2017.
