Description

Nowhere can the true drama of the Civil War Battle of Atlanta be more appreciated than at the Atlanta Cyclorama & Civil War Museum. This Civil War Museum features the world’s largest oil painting, the Battle of Atlanta. Guided tours of the "Cyclorama Experience" occur every hour on the half hour Tuesday through Sunday. A Cyclorama tour begins in the first floor auditorium with a short film (The Atlanta Campaign) that describes events leading up to the Battle of Atlanta. Visitors are then escorted into the Cyclorama to experience the battle in the Cyclorama. As the Cyclorama Theater rotates through history, guests are treated to surround sound with music, 3D effects and narration in 5 languages (Japanese, French, Spanish, French, and English). The museum also includes the Civil War locomotive "TEXAS" and two levels of Civil War memorabilia, period paintings, and photographs.
