Re: Road trip to Atlanta

http://www.atlantacyclorama.org/

The link above is to the Atlanta Cyclorama. This is a gigantic painting
of the Battle of Atlanta. It is right next to the entrance gates to Zoo Atlanta
and is a must see since you will be right there.

The painting is in the round. You seat in theater type seats, but the
whole set of seats is on a moving roundtable which moves 360 degrees in order
to see the whole artwork.

The Cyclorama was painted by a team of artists who painted the Franco-Prussian War.
then were brought to Milwaukee, WI to paint 2 American Civil War cycloramas.

The above link has a 38 second long video where you can see the Cyclorama and the
accompanying Civil War Museum containing the locomotive Texas, as well as period guns.
