Leipzig Panometer turns a former gasometer into a canvas for Yadegar Asisi’s monumental 360-degree panoramas. Viewed from a central platform, the immense images surround visitors with finely detailed scenes, while changing light and sound effects create the impression of a world moving from day to night.
The building is part of Leipzig’s industrial heritage: a gas storage tank dating from the early 20th century, repurposed for art on an extraordinary scale. Asisi’s past panoramas have ranged from ancient Rome to the Amazon rainforest, combining historical research and artistic interpretation in an experience that rewards a slow look at its smallest details.
The Leipzig Panometer is on Richard-Lehmann-Straße, south of the city centre, and can be reached by public transport. Exhibitions change periodically, so check the official website for the current panorama and opening times before visiting. Allow around 60 to 90 minutes, and check accessibility information in advance if you have concerns about reaching the viewing platform.
