Bourbaki Panorama
The Bourbaki Panorama Lucerne houses one of the world's few panorama paintings still in existence. Its new museum impressively outlines the media history of the 19th century.
Inside the round building, which underwent a thorough renovation in the year 2000, you will find the impressive circular painting which Edouard Castres painted in 1881. It is 10 m high and 112 m in circumference and depicts a memorable episode from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 in which the French Army, under General Bourbaki, crossed into Switzerland.
