Historical information
Centrally located in a green park known as the Historical Boulevard of Sevastopol, the Panorama Museum is only 10 minutes walk uphill from the Ushakov Square.
The world-known Panorama was built as a show house for the panoramic painting "The Defense of Sevastopol 1854-1855". Consisted of a picturesque canvas and an objective layout, a 360-degree panoramic painting reconstructs a three dimension picture of the battle of Malakhov, which took place in Sevastopol on June 18 (June 6), 1855.
The painting is 115 metres (377 feet) long and 14 metres (46 feet) high. Total number of participants depicted in the canvas is about 4000.
The Siege of Sevastopol is a painted panorama by the Russian artist Franz Roubaud. It shows the Allied assault on the Malakhov Battery on 6 June 1855 during the Siege of Sevastopol during the Crimean War, in which 173000 British and French troops were repulsed by 75000 Russians.
It features portraits of Pavel Nakhimov, the Russian nurse Dasha and Nikolay Pirogov. He painted it between 1902 and 1904. It was unveiled in a specially designed building in 1905, the fiftieth anniversary of the siege. It was damaged during the German siege of Sevastopol in 1942 and restored in the 1950s.
