Panorama Mesdag
This panorama will, quite simply, take your breath away. It's the world's largest circular painting, with a total circumference of 395 feet. You'll walk through a dark passageway, up a stairway, and out onto a circular platform--and suddenly you're in the 1880 fishing village of Scheveningen. Its dunes, beach, fishing boats, and everything else in the village are three-dimensional, an illusion enhanced by the artificial dunes that separate you from the painting. The panorama is the work of Dutch artist Hendrik Willem Mesdag, with the assistance of his wife and two other prominent artists.
