Ste. Anne de Beaupre, Quebec, Canada -
Cyclorama of Jerusalem

I kick myself that I balked at the ticket price ($7.00 today Cdn.) when en route to Labrador by thumb many years back, when I could have toured this Cyclorama of Jerusalem. It's claimed to be the world's largest panorama -- a 360-degree view of Jerusalem from Golgotha painted in an innovative style that gave a 3-D effect. Reading official promotional hype on the net I've learned the "Cyclorama has been on exhibit since 1895...Executed in Munich from 1878 to 1882 [by Parisians], the monumental work is 14 meters in height and 110 meters in circumference, or 1,540 square meters of amazing illusion...From the observation point, you can contemplate all the city of Jerusalem and over 80 kilometers of surrounding countryside.
