Atlanta Cyclorama & Civil War Museum
The Atlanta Cyclorama and Civil War Museum was a civil war museum located in Atlanta, Georgia, its most noted attraction being the Atlanta Cyclorama, a cylindrical panoramic painting of the Civil War Battle of Atlanta. The museum is located in historic Grant Park, adjacent to Zoo Atlanta.
==Atlanta Cyclorama==
Visitors view the cylindrical painting from the inside, entering through an entrance in the floor. After being seated, the central cylinder rotates slowly, affording a view of the entire painting. The painting at one time was the largest oil painting in the world, and if unrolled would measure high by long. It held this record until 2004, when it was surpassed in size by a mural at the Kalamazoo Air Zoo measuring high by long.
The Cyclorama was narrated at one time by volunteers, some of whom were veterans or widows of veterans of the Civil War. In 1960, Atlanta Mayor William B. Hartsfield accepted the donation of a recorded narration written by Junius Andrew Park, Jr., in honor of his father, Junius Andrew Park, Sr., who was born and raised in Atlanta. Research was done by Lurline Richardson Park, the writer's wife. The narration was musically scored by Atlanta musician Sam T. Wilhoit, and the narration was read by Hollywood actor Victor Jory, who appeared in the original motion picture ''Gone with the Wind''. All parties donated their time and labor. In later years, a revised narration was produced and narrated by actor Shepperd Strudwick. The painting is currently valued at $25 million.
