Bourbaki-Panorama, Cultural center and museum in Lucerne, Switzerland.

The Bourbaki-Panorama building contains a 114-meter circular painting that captures the French army's retreat into Switzerland during the Franco-Prussian War.

The museum structure, completed in 1889, houses the monumental panoramic painting created by Edouard Castres in 1881 depicting 87,000 French soldiers seeking refuge.

The center maintains exhibits highlighting Switzerland's humanitarian traditions through the display of military internment stories and personal narratives from 1871.

The museum provides multilingual guided tours and contains modern audiovisual presentations to help visitors understand the historical context of the panoramic artwork.

The circular painting measures 10 meters in height and fills the entire circumference of the rotunda, creating an immersive viewing experience for museum visitors.
