Lincoln Shrine (Cyclorama) at Gettysburg, PA
Richard Neutra Austrian
Not on view
This sketch in soft graphite on transfer paper contains a perspectival view of Richard Neutra's design for the Cyclorama and Visitor's Center at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The Cyclorama, which also functioned as the visitor's center to the Gettysburg battle field area, was meant to house a 360-degree cyclorama that filled a drum of 80 feet in diameter with a depiction of the battle that took place in July 1863. Neutra was invited to design a building to house it, and began construction in 1958. While generally recognized as one on of Neutra's most important architectural designs, it was demolished in 2013 after the cyclorama itself had been removed for restauration work.
