Atlanta - Grant Park

Atlanta's Cyclorama features the vivid retelling of the battle of Atlanta. In 1886, when completed, it was 50 feet high, 400 feet long, and weighed over 9,000 pounds. Due to years of moving around and extensive repairs, it now measures 42' x 358'. It is still the largest oil painting in the world.The art form "cyclorama" was a show in a cylindrical room or building that featured a painting on the outer wall of the room and the patrons seated (or standing) in the center. This was popular before moving pictures.

Zoo Atlanta features more than 1,000 animals on 37 acres. It features a petting zoo, reptile collection and sightseeing train tour.
