At the Panometer (a blend of "Panorama" and "Gasometer"), visitors can explore captivating and otherworldly scenes. Located in southern Leipzig, the former Gasometer II, built in 1910, has been home to 360° panoramas by artist Yadegar Asisi since 2003. The latest exhibit, "The Cathedral of Monet—Freedom of Painting," launched in March 2024, is a striking example of immersive art. This 32-meter-tall 360° panorama transports viewers to Rouen, France, around 1890, with a focus on the city's magnificent cathedral, famously captured in 33 paintings by Claude Monet. Asisi's first painted panorama, a 6 x 2-meter impressionist canvas, was digitized and enlarged to an impressive 32 × 110 meters for display at the Panometer Leipzig.
