Netherlands 2006 Panorama Mesdag in The Hague

From museum's webpage:

"Panorama Mesdag is a cylindrical painting, more than 14 meters high and 120 meters in circumference. The vista of the sea, the dunes and Scheveningen village was painted by one of the most famous painters of the Hague School, Hendrik Willem Mesdag. It is the oldest 19th century panorama in the world in its original site, and a unique cultural heritage."


Mesdag Panorama is the most beautiful sensation of my life. It has just one tiny flaw and that is its flawlesness.

- Vincent van Gogh, painter, 1881

This panorama is so ginormous and beautiful, it probably isn't possible to creat another one! This took less than a year for Hendrik Wilhelm van Mesdag to create, but it took years to restore (in the 80's)! It is an absolute privilege to see this. :-)

Panorama Mesdag is a continuous circular painting with a circumference of 120 meters.

In the museum, however, there are a small collection of other ordinary paintings.
