Located on the premises of the Leipziger Stadtwerke, the Panometer Leipzig originally was used to store city gas. In 2003 the Berlin artist Yadegar Asisi started its remodelling with displaying unique and monumental 360° panoramas in the former gasometer. The Panometer’s overall artistic concept is a combination of the accompanying exhibition, introducing to the current topic, and the 32 m high and more than 100 m wide panorama, that is staged through the simulation of night and day by light and sound. Standing on the 15 m high platform in the middle of the monumental picture you can thus experience the perfect illusion of immerging into a distant country or an elapsed period of time. Over the past years, the Panometer Leipzig already took its visitors to the foot of Mount Everest, into the life of ancient Rome, to the beauty of the tropical rain forest, through the confusions of the Battle of the Nations in Leipzig and into the astounding underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef. Further panoramas are planned for the future and will be presented in the frame work of a world premiere in Leipzig. Besides the visitation of the impressive panorama and the tour through the accompanying exhibition, the visitors can witness the creation of the world’s largest panorama pictures by watching the making-of film at the end of the exhibition. After the visit, the Panometer-Cafe invites the guests to relax with a cup of coffee and a piece of cake. CURRENT PANORAMA-EXHIBITION: since January 28th 2017 all-the-year "TITANIC - The Promise of Modernity"

Our new permanent exhibition, Our History. Dictatorship and Democracy after 1945, highlights new themes and explores the post-reunification period in more detail. Here, visitors are taken on a journey through history – from the years after the Second World War to life in former East Germany and today’s Federal Republic of Germany. Why was East Germany founded? Who held the power in the country? How did people live, work, debate and celebrate? Why did the GDR fail? How has Germany grown together again after reunification? What are people’s issues and concerns today? To explore the history of a divided Germany and the years after reunification, the exhibition showcases over 2000 photos, films and objects, from the table in the SED’s politburo to parts of the fence at the Federal German embassy in Prague. In addition, contemporary witnesses not only share their own experience of these events, but show, though their personal stories, how political events affect people’s everyday lives.
