The Atlanta Cyclorama
Often when you live in a town with spots that attract tourists, you put off visiting them unless you have out-of-town company. Well, if you have missed seeing the Cyclorama, or haven’t been in a while – now’s the time to go. According the AJC the budget is tight and some staff have been furloughed. Hours are from 9 – 4:30 Tuesday through Sunday and the website is www.atlantacyclorama.org.
Claudine wrote about the Cyclorama here in June. See http://www.theatlantatraveler.com/what-is-a-cyclorama-in-atlanta-anyway/
It is truly an icon here in Atlanta. The painting was completed in 1896 and it depicts the Battle of Atlanta. It was given to the city by George Gress, the founder of the Grant Park Zoo, in 1898. The diorama was added in 1936. This is old Atlanta, but worth your time.
