The emergence of new technologies such as photography fundamentally changed the art world in the 19th century and created the conditions for completely new styles in painting, such as Impressionism. The public guided tour of the panorama "THE CATHEDRAL OF MONET" shows the significant innovations this art style brought with it and why it is considered a radical change for painting. During the tour, Asisi's works from the accompanying exhibition will also be presented and an insight given into which contemporary witnesses of the 19th century can be found directly in the panorama.

The panorama"Monet's Cathedral" by Berlin artist Yadegar Asisi will also captivate and inspire you after the tour.
With this panorama, the artist invites you on a picturesque journey to the French city of Rouen at the end of the 19th century. The focus is on the impressive Notre Dame Cathedral, which has been immortalized in a diverse interplay of extraordinary colour nuances, shades and incidences of light. Numerous contemporaries of the era, such as Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh and Auguste Renoir, can be found on the square in front of it and in the city's alleyways. Background noises and music that reflect the atmosphere of the late 19th century as well as a day and night light simulation bring France's past to life. Viewing takes place at ground level or from the various levels of the 15-metre-high visitor platform.
The Panometer Leipzig is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm.
