I have been going to the Cyclorama since I was a kid decades ago. The first experience was unforgettable and it doesn't diminish with time. You can't see the worlds largest painting anywhere but here. It gives you a fantastic idea of what the Battle of Atlanta might have looked like and how rich Atlanta is in history.
A very relaxed atmosphere to learn more about an era you read about in history class. Knowledgeable staff.
Very educational!
Cyclorama will hold your interest and you will come back.
